Is zero a rational number? Can you write it in the form of
Hint: Try writing various fractions such that 0 is in the numerator and it is divided by some integer q such that
Complete answer:
As we know a rational number is a number which is represented in the form of
Then it can be represented as a fraction of two integers.
For example
As we see this a fraction but not written in lowest form of fraction so first convert this fraction into lowest form of fraction.
Now cancel out the common terms we have,
So this fraction converts into a rational number where (
Now consider the given number zero (0).
