You have already studied different types of numbers such as natural numbers, whole
numbers and integers. Now let’s explore what rational numbers are and some of their
properties, ‘rational’ means ‘ratio’, which means ‘comparison’ between two or more
numbers. Rational numbers are denoted as fractions (numerator upon denominator).
The denominator should not be equal to 0. So, a number is a rational number if it can be
written as an integer divided by other integers.
Rational numbers are a part and parcel of our daily lives- whether you are sharing
pizzas or cupcakes with your friends, receiving interest on your savings account on
the regular basis or even playing a board game, everything involves rational numbers.
