Every rational number, which includes integers, can be written as a fraction, with 1 in the denominator [bottom], or you could multiply the number by 2, and have this as the numerator [top], then have 2 in the denominator [bottom]. But when you say every number, the irrational numbers [such as pi, e, square root of 2, etc.]can not be written as a fraction.
