A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers without the decimal representation of the number going on forever with a repeating pattern. If the decimal representation continues forever with a repeating pattern, a number is an irrational number.

A rational number is a number that can be expressed in the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b≠0. For example, 0, 1/2, and -41 are rational numbers. Each rational number corresponds to a unique point on the number line (but most points on the number line do not correspond to a rational number -- they correspond to an irrational number).
Helpful?           0
A number that can be expressed as the ratio, or quotient, of two integers, a/b, provided b Ͱ0. Rational numbers can be expressed as common fractions or decimals, such as 3/5 or 0.6. Finite decimals, repeating decimals, mixed numbers and whole numbers are all rational numbers. Nonrepeating decimals cannot be expressed in this way, and are said to be irrational.

In mathematics, a rational number is a number which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Non-integer rational numbers (commonly called fractions) are usually written as the vulgar fraction \tfrac ab, where b is not zero.
