How do you describe a rational number as a quotient when the divisor is not zero

1 answer

A rational number can be described as a quotient when the divisor is not zero by representing it as the division of two integers. In other words, it can be written in the form of a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers.

For example, if we have the rational number 5/7, it can be described as the quotient of 5 divided by 7, where 5 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator. Similarly, 3/2 can be described as the division of 3 by 2.

It is important to note that the divisor, or the denominator, must not be zero when describing a rational number as a quotient. Division by zero is undefined in mathematics and cannot be represented as a rational number.
