SIR (Ph): 9429976149

Points To Remember:
The numbers of the form

p
q

PURVESH

where p and q are integers and q 0 are known as

rational numbers.
Every integer is a rational number, but every rational number may not be an integer.
0 is the additive identity (identity element/neutral number for addition) for
rational numbers.
1 is the multiplicative identity (identity element/neutral number for
multiplication) for rational numbers.
a
a
The additive inverse of the rational number b is b and vice-versa.

The reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of

a
b

is

b
a

0 has no reciprocal. The multiplicative inverse of 0 does not exist.

Between two rational numbers, there are countless (infinitely many) rational numbers.
Number sets:
1) N - The set of natural numbers
2) W - The set of whole numbers
2) Z - The set of integers
3) Q - The set of rational numbers
