RATIONAL NUMBERS
Positive rational numbers- A
rational number whose
numerator and denominator are
both positive integers or both
negative integers is called a
positive rational number. Eg3/5,-5/-8.

NEGATIVE RATIONAL
NUMBERS
If in a rational number,one out
of its numerator and the
denominator is positive and the
other is negative, then it is
called a negative rational
number. Eg3/11,16/-17
Zero rational number is
0=0/1=0/-1.

RATIONAL NUMBER IN
ITS LOWEST TERMS
The numerator and denominator
of such a rational number in its
lowest terms are co-primes. E.g
Express 45/60 in its lowest
terms.
Sol-H.C.F of 45 and 60=15
45/60=3/4(dividing both terms by
15)

EQUIVALENT RATIONAL
NUMBERS
We know that the rational
numbers do not have a unique
representation in the form p/q,
where p & q are integers and q
is not equal to 0 such rational
numbers are called equivalent
rationals(or fractions).

DECIMAL
REPRESENTATION OF A
RATIONAL NUMBER

Rational numbers- A rational number

is either a terminating decimal or a
non-terminating but
recurring(repeated) decimal.
In other words, a terminating
decimal or a non-terminating
decimal is a rational
number.eg.0.33,0.12341234.

IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
A number S is called irrational if
it cannot be written in the form
p/q where p&q are integers and
q is no equal to 0.
Aa the rational numbers are
infinite, so are the irrational
numbers are also infinite.

REAL NUMBERS
The set of rational numbers and
irrational numbers form a set of real
numbers.
Every real number is represented by
a unique point on the number line
and conversely, every point on the
number line represents a unique real
number.
