how you find the rational of 1

Answer 1

To find the rational of the number 1, we can express it as a fraction. A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \) is not zero.

For the number 1, we can represent it as:

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

Here, \( p = 1 \) and \( q = 1 \). Since both of these numbers are integers, and \( q \) is not zero, 1 is indeed a rational number.

Additionally, 1 can also be expressed in other equivalent fractional forms, such as:

\[ 1 = \frac{2}{2} = \frac{3}{3} = \frac{n}{n} \quad (n \neq 0) \]

All of these forms confirm that 1 is a rational number.
