A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are integers, and \( b \) is not zero.

The number 10 can be expressed as:

\[
\frac{10}{1}
\]

Here, both the numerator (10) and the denominator (1) are integers, and the denominator is not zero. Therefore, since 10 can be represented as a fraction in this form, it is classified as a rational number.
