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". The decimal expansion of a rational number always either terminates after a finite number of digits or begins to repeat the

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers. The decimal of a rational number will either repeat or terminate. There is a way to tell in advance whether a rational number’s decimal representation will repeat or terminate. When trying to find a pattern in the relationship between rational numbers and their decimals‚ it is best to start with a list. A random list of rational numbers and their decimal values was made in order to find a pattern. The list included ½‚ 5/6
