Question

Are rational numbers always, sometimes or never natural numbers?

Answer 1

Rational numbers are sometimes natural numbers. For example, the number 1 is both a rational and natural number. Remember that natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4.. etc. Rational numbers are any number that can be expressed as a ratio of 2 integers. 1/1 is rational.

Most rational numbers, however, are not natural. For example, 3/4, 89/88, and so on.
