[]Is 0 (Zero) a Rational Number?
Is 0 (Zero) a Rational Number?
Today we will determine whether 0 (zero) 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 equal to 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 0 (zero).
0 (zero) can be written as 0/1 or 0÷1
Therefore, 0 = 0/1
Step-4:
We know that the fraction or ratio p/q is a rational number.As we can express 0 as 0/1,so 0 is a rational number (p/q,here q=1,p=0)
