How can 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 because it can be represented as the ratio of two integers. The numerator represents the part of the whole or the quantity being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. Since the divisor is not zero, the rational number can be expressed as the quotient or division of two integers.
