Rational Numbers Quiz

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ of two integers, a numerator $p$ and a non-zero denominator $q$.

The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by boldface $\mathbb{Q}$, or blackboard bold $\mathbb{Q}$.

The two types of decimal expansions for rational numbers are those that terminate after a finite number of digits and those that eventually begin to repeat the same finite sequence of digits over and over.
