What is rational number?

• Rational Numbers: Any number that can be written as a ratio (or fraction) of two integers is a rational number
• In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers.
• A numerator p and a non-zero denominator.
• For example, is a rational number just like any integer (e.g. 5 = the set of all rational numbers, also called "rational numbers", the field of rational numbers, or the field of rational numbers is usually , printed in bold
• Rational numbers are real numbers.
• This statement is not unique: not only in base 10, but also in other integer bases such as binary and hexadecimal (see Decimal repetition § Extensions to other bases).
