Properties of Rational Numbers
Rational numbers, a fundamental concept in mathematics, form a crucial subset of the number system. Defined as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero, rational numbers encompass fractions and decimals. This introduction will explore the key properties that distinguish rational numbers, elucidating their significance in mathematical operations and real-world applications. From closed under addition and multiplication to the existence of reciprocals, these properties contribute to a deeper understanding of the rational number set, laying the groundwork for their pervasive role in various mathematical disciplines.
