    • Important Points:

      1. Rational Numbers = Integers + Fractions

      2. Rational Number can be expressed as p/q, where q \( \neq \) 0 and p & q are integers.

      3. Positive rational number: numerator & denominator = positive integers.

      4. Negative rational number: numerator = negative integer, denominator = positive integer.

      5. Standard form: numerator & denominator have no common factor other than 1.

      6. There are unlimited rational numbers between any two rational numbers.

      7. The number 0 is neither a positive nor a negative rational number.

      8. Product of rational numbers = product of numerators / product of denominators.
