​Rational vs Irrational Review

The rational numbers are numbers which can be expressed as a fraction

Caution: The denominator cannot equal zero.

​Rational numbers can also appear in decimal form. If the decimal number either terminates or repeats, then it is possible to write it as a fraction with an integer numerator and denominator. Thus, it is rational as well.

​

​The irrational numbers are all numbers which when written in decimal form do not repeat and do not terminate.
