Rational Numbers 
Points to remember 
? Rational numbers are the numbers which can be expressed as 
?? ?? ,where p and 
q are integers and q?0 example, 
?? ?? 
?? ?? 
-?? ??  etc. 
? Number 0 is neither a positive rational number nor negative rational number. 
It is only a rational number. 
? If two or more rational numbers have equal simplest form, then these are 
called equivalent rational numbers. 
? All integers and fractions are rational numbers. 
? There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational 
numbers. 
Questions:
