Is -77 a Rational Number?

Answer:

Yes, -77 is a rational number.

Explanation:

Today we will determine whether -77 is a rational number or not in just four steps.

                 

                       Step-1: 

A rational number  is like p/q.Here p and q are Integers and q is not zero.


*Rational Number=p÷q

  Condition:q is not zero.

                   Step-2:

Notice that 1 can be expressed as 1/1.The value of  both 1/1 and 1 is the same which is 1.


Therefore,1=1/1




                         Step-3:
Now we will consider -77.

-77 can be written as -77/1 or -77÷1

Therefore, -77 = -77/1


                   Step-4:

We know that the fraction or ratio p/q is a rational number.As we can express -77 as -77/1,so -77 is a rational number (p/q,here q=1,p=-77)
