Rational Numbers – Standard Form
The standard form of a rational number is, p/q
where,
- p and q are both integers with no common integers,
- q can never be zero.
For example, 2/6 is a rational number but it is not in its standard form as 2/6 has a common factor of 2 and it can further be simplified as 1/3. Thus, its standard form is 1/3.
Rational Numbers
Rational Numbers: A rational number is a type of real number expressed as p/q, where q ≠ 0. Any fraction with a non-zero denominator qualifies as a rational number. Examples include 1/2, 1/5, 3/4, and so forth. Additionally, the number 0 is considered a rational number as it can be represented in various forms such as 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, etc.
