Let's begin by listing from the beginning:

Integers are numbers having no fractional parts. They are whole numbers

Rational numbers are numbers that can be gotten by dividing two integers

57 is both an integer & a rational number

171 is both an integer & a rational number

-5 is both an integer & a rational number
