What Are Rational and Irrational Numbers?

Numbers can be categorized based on whether they can be expressed as a fraction of integers (p/q) or not.

Rational Numbers

Definition: Any number that can be written as p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, is called a rational number.

Examples: 2, 2/4, 7/7, √4, 4/2

All these numbers can be verified using our free rational number calculator.

Identification of Rational Numbers:

Every integer is rational, as it can be written as itself divided by 1.
Numbers with perfect square roots are also rational.

Types of Rational Numbers:

1. Terminating Rational Numbers

Numbers with a finite number of decimal digits after the decimal point.

Examples: 1/4 = 0.25, 2/4 = 0.5, 2/8 = 0.25

2. Recurring Rational Numbers

Numbers with infinite decimal expansions that repeat in a pattern.

Example: 4/9 = 0.4444...
