Math. Edurite. com Page : 1/3 A Negative Rational Number Know More About :- Multiplication by 2 Digits A Negative Rational Number Rational numbers are the numbers which can be expressed in form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q <>0. All natural numbers, whole numbers, positive and negative integers with fractions are all sets of rational numbers. We also have some decimal numbers which are repeating and reoccurring and are also called rational numbers. Now we will check "Is Negative Number a Rational Number ”. For this let us first consider any negative integer say -7. Now we know that -7 can also be written as -7/1. Here we observe that both -7 and 1 are integer numbers, so the number -7/1 is written in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers. Also we see that q <> 0. Thus it satisfies the definition of the rational numbers. So we can say that -7, which is an integer is also a rational number. Now we take another number say 5/-7, here we see that the numerator is Less
