A rational number is any number that can


n
be written as a fraction
, where
n
d

and d are integers and d 0.

The goal of simplifying fractions is to make
the numerator and the denominator
relatively prime. Relatively prime
numbers have no common factors other
than 1.

2-1 Rational Numbers


You can often simplify fractions by dividing
both the numerator and denominator by
the same nonzero integer. You can
12
simplify the fraction 15
to 45 by dividing
both the numerator and denominator by 3.

Decimals that terminate or repeat are rational


numbers.
To write a terminating decimal as a fraction,
identify the place value of the digit farthest to
the right. Then write all of the digits after the
decimal point as the numerator with the place
value as the denominator.
