Any number which can be expressed in the form p/q, where i)p and q are integers and ii)q is not 0 is a rational number. Integers are are represented by Z Z={......, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,.....} 0 can be expressed...

Integers are are represented by Z Z={......, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,.....} 0 can be expressed as 0/1 or 0/2 or 0/3 and so on Therefore 0= 0/1=0/2=0/3 and so on hence we can represent 0 in the form p/q where p=0 and q=1,2,3, so on (both an integer) also q is not equal to 0. therefore 0 is a rational number. read less

Any number which doesn't fulfill the above conditions is irrational. It can be represented as a ratio of two integers as well as ratio of itself and an irrational number such that zero is not dividend in any case. So we can say that 0is rational because it is an integer.

Yes, 0 is a rational number. Because 0 is an integer and all intergers are rational. But normally we dont express 0 as 0/q form. So, this question doesn't arise. But, 0 is a rational number

We know that a rational no. can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q not equal to zero. so 0 can be written as 0/1 or 0/2 or 0/3 etc.
