What is the set of numbers to which #-54/19# belong?

Answer 1

#-54/19# can be called a rational number.

#-54/19# is a number, which can be expressed as #p/q#, where #p,q# are integers and #q!=0#. As here numerator #-54# and denominator #19#, both are integers and of course denominator is not zero. Hence, we can say #-54/19# as a rational number.

Further, though the concept of real numbers and complex numbers is beyond the scope of Prealgebra, it may be mentioned that #54/19# can be called as real number and complex number too.
