A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers.

In mathematical language, a rational number can be defined as the number which can be represented in the form of p/q, where its denominator ( which is "q" here) should not be equal to zero. As if the denominator will be zero then the whole fraction will become equal to infinity.

Any number in the form of p/q where p,q are integers and q is not equal to 0 are called rational numbers. 2. Terminating decimals or non terminating, repeating/recurring decimals are also rational numbers which can be converted into p/q form. Eg: 4/5, -6/35, 2, 0, etc.

In very simple manner, any number which has specific value is a rational number. For example,1/4, 8/9, 7/5, 8/4, but not the value of pie, 22/7, square root of 2 etc.
