Answer: The numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers where the denominator is not equal to zero

Explanation:

Rational numbers are expressed in the form of
(p)/(q) where
q\\eq 0. 'q' is the denominator in the above fraction.

The fractional form which is terminating or non-terminating recurring are considered as rational numbers.

The numbers 'p' and 'q' are the integers.

Integers are defined as number which is a proper number and not a fraction or decimal. All negative whole numbers are considered as integers.

Some Examples of Rational numbers:
(5)/(10) is a terminating fraction.
(2)/(3) is a non-terminating recurring fraction

Hence, the numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers where the denominator is not equal to zero
