Difference Between Rational and Irrational Number

Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers and can be represented as fractions, decimals, or whole numbers. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and include numbers like √2, π, and 5/0. Some key differences between rational and irrational numbers are: (1) rational numbers include integers and fractions while irrational numbers cannot be written as simple fractions, (2) rational numbers can be expressed as ratios but irrational numbers cannot, and (3) rational numbers can be expressed as decimals but irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions.
