A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.

Irrational numbers are all the real numbers which are not rational numbers. That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers.


\begin{gathered} -14\pi\text{ }\colon\text{ }irratioal \\ 51.18\colon\text{ rational} \\ \sqrt[]{29}\text{ : }irrational \\ \bar{29.96}\text{ : }rational \\ \sqrt[]{1}\text{ : rational} \end{gathered}

Remember that decimals with repeating patterns
