give me a reason to why 0 is a rational number

Answer 1

A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. In the case of 0, it can be expressed as:

\[ 0 = \frac{0}{1} \]

Here, both 0 and 1 are integers, and the denominator (1) is not zero. Therefore, since 0 can be represented in this form, it is classified as a rational number.
