Is - 100 A Rational Number

The answer to the question, "Is -100 a rational number?" is indeed a yes, since it can be written or represented as -1000/10 or -100/1 where 10 and 1 are not equal to zero. Those who are unaware of the term rational number, note that rational number is a number which can be represented in the form of a fraction p/q, where p and q are the integers and q is not equal to 0. All the rational numbers can be generally denoted by the Unicode Q (meaning quotient). Rational number is a number which either terminates after a finite sequence of digits or repeats a same finite sequence of digits again and again.

Know More About Operations with Integers and Rational Numbers

And now about the question: Is -100 a rational number? Here is the detailed explanation for that, since integers are positive as well as negative and as discussed above p and q are integers, no matter positive or negative. So 100 is an integer and as we have represented -100 in the form of a fraction where the denominator is not equal to 0, hence we can easily answer the question: is -100 a rational number, as yes. Those who think that -100 is an irrational number and answer to the question, is -100 a rational number, is a no, here is the definition for irrational number: the real number which does not comes under rational numbers is an irrational number. And they are non- terminating as the decimal expansion of an irrational number does not come to an end and they are non- repeating also as the decimal expansion continues forever without repeating. Irrational numbers include numbers like , 2 and e. Since the rational numbers are countable and the irrational numbers are uncountable sets , one can say that almost all the real numbers are irrational, and can easily be misguided by the statement with the above question: is -100 a rational number, but everybody should know that every integer is a rational number since the denominator q may be equal to 1.
