Is every negative number a rational number? Why or why not?
Can you tell me, is every negative number a rational number? Why or why not?
No, not every negative number is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, but certain negative numbers cannot be expressed as such. For example, the square root of 2 is irrational, as is pi, and so any negative multiple of those numbers would also be irrational.
