The prevalence of thyroid cancer has been shown to be similar in patients with a solitary nodule and patients with multiple nodules [30]. In glands with multiple nodules, the recommendation of the American Thyroid Association (ATA) is to biopsy nodules that are >10 mm and those that have suspicious features [15].
Rational Numbers: Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. An integer can be written as a fraction simply by giving it a denominator of one, so any integer is a rational number.
The other classifications of numbers include: 1  Integers-similar to whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers. 2  Like natural and whole numbers, they do not have any fraction or decimal part. 3  Rational number-refers to the quotient of two integers with a nonzero denominator.
