Rational Number: Definition, Formula, Properties, Examples
We have learnt counting numbers (1,2,3,4….). Then we got to know about natural numbers which are the same as counting numbers. Than whole numbers which are the natural number along with zero (0,1,2,3,4…). When our need increased we learn integers (….-3,-2,-1,0, 1, 2, 3, ….). For representing directional distance as +5km i.e 5km forward and -5km i.e. 5km backwards. There are much more applications of integers as in profit loss. Then we knew about fractions which is (frac{numerator}{denominator}) . Thus we needed Rational number.
