*A number that can be expressed in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero, is called a rational number.
* All integers and fractions are rational numbers.
* If the numerator and denominator of a rational number are multiplied or divided by a non-zero integer, we get a rational number which is said to be equivalent to the given rational number.
