How can you describe a rational number as a quotient when the divisor is not zero?(1 point)

Answer 1

A rational number is defined as a quotient of two integers, where the numerator is any integer and the denominator (the divisor) is a non-zero integer. It can be expressed in the form \( \frac{a}{b} \), where \( a \) is the integer (numerator) and \( b \) is the non-zero integer (denominator). For example, \( \frac{3}{4} \) is a rational number because 3 is an integer and 4 is a non-zero integer. As long as the denominator is not zero, this representation holds true for any integer \( a \).
