Rational numbers

Name: Anonymous 2010-02-16 3:53

aren't most number rational numbers since any real number can be represented as x or x/1?

No.  Rational numbers require an integral numerator and an integral denominator.  e/1 does not have an integral numerator.

You seriously thought (square root of two)/2 was rational?

it's the number in which the same number of itself equals 2, sounds pretty rational to me

no, there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers, because the set of rational numbers is only countably infinite, while the set of irrational numbers is uncountably infinite.

Poor trolling.

No, because that's not how rational numbers are defined.
For a number to be rational, it must be possible to write it on the form a/b where both a and b are whole numbers.
You don't specify whether x is a whole number or not, and thus you are a moron, and possibly a troll as well. Regardless of the latter, you are a moron either way.

Don't change these.
