What is a rational number?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

"The Rote Definition" -> Any no.which can be expressed in "p/q" form, where p and q are both integers, and q is not 0.

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

That doesn't really help me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, all real numbers that are not irrationals are rational numbers. Does this help? :P

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Yea, thanks!

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Haha lol. What did I ever do?? :/

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

This was one of the biggest 7th standard math joke at school, as far as I remember. And the innumerous times we frustrated the teacher with these "converse" definitions!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't reached 7th standard yet so I don't know :P

OpenStudy (apoorvk):
