Rational numbers include all integers, fractions, and decimals that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, whereas whole numbers are a subset of rational numbers that include 0 and all positive integers without fractions. Not all rational numbers are whole numbers; for example, 1/2 and -3 are rational numbers but not whole numbers. However, all whole numbers are rational because they can be expressed as a fraction with a denominator of 1; for instance, the whole number 5 can be written as 5/1.

Rational numbers include all integers, fractions, and decimals, while whole numbers are a subset that includes 0 and positive integers. Not all rational numbers are whole numbers (e.g., 1/2 and -3), but all whole numbers are rational since they can be expressed as fractions with a denominator of 1, like 5 as 5/1.
