    Study Notes

    Rational Numbers

    • Rational numbers are a subset of real numbers characterized by their representation in the form of ( p/q ), where ( p ) and ( q ) are integers and ( q \neq 0 ).
    • The denominator ( q ) must always be a non-zero value; fractions with zero denominators are undefined.
    • Common examples include fractions such as ( 1/2 ), ( 1/5 ), and ( 3/4 ).
    • Rational numbers can be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals, indicating they can be precisely represented on the number line.
    • All integers are considered rational numbers since they can be expressed as themselves over one (e.g., ( 5 ) can be written as ( 5/1 )).
