Rational and Irrational Numbers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written in the form of a fraction, with both the numerator and denominator being whole numbers. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be written as a fraction—they have an infinite number of decimal places. Examples of irrational numbers are pi, square roots of prime numbers, and the golden ratio.
