RATIONAL NUMBERS In mathematics‚ a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers‚ with the denominator q not equal to zero. Since q may be equal to 1‚ every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by a boldface Q it was thus named in 1895 byPeano after quoziente‚ Italian for "quotient".
