rational numbers
Quotients of integers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers—a fraction where the numerator and denominator are whole numbers and the denominator isn't zero.
This includes integers themselves (5 is 5/1), decimals that terminate (0.75 is 3/4), and decimals that repeat (0.333... is 1/3).
The term distinguishes them from irrational numbers like pi or the square root of 2, which cannot be written as such fractions.
