What are rational numbers? Why is it important to study rational numbers?

Any number that can be written as a fraction with integers is called a rational number . For example, 17 and −34 are rational numbers. (Note that there is more than one way to write the same rational number as a ratio of integers. For example, 17 and 214 represent the same rational number.)
