Division of Two Rational Numbers In this tutorial, we will learn, division of rational numbers. Rational numbers are written as fractions, therefore to divide a given rational number by another rational number, we have to multiply the given rational number by the reciprocal of the second rational number. Let a/b is a rational number then […]

Rational Numbers – Multiplication In this tutorial, we will learn, multiplication of rational numbers. Multiplication of two rational numbers is just like multiplication of two integers. Product of two or more rational numbers is founded by multiplying the corresponding numerators and denominators of the numbers and writing them in the standard form. Product of numerators […]

Rational Numbers – Subtraction In this tutorial, we will learn the operation of subtraction of rational numbers. If we add the additive inverse of a rational number and other rational number then this is called subtraction of two rational numbers. Subtraction is inverse process of addition. If a/b and c/d are two rational numbers, then […]

Rational Numbers – Addition In this tutorial, we will learn the operation of addition of rational numbers. In the process of addition of rational numbers there are two types of categories. (1) Addition of Rational Numbers with Same Denominator (2) Addition of Rational Numbers with Different Denominator (1) Addition of Rational Numbers with Same Denominator […]

Rational Numbers on Number Line Rational Numbers Rational numbers are numbers which can be represented in the form of p/q, where p and q are any two integers and q is not equal to zero(q ≠ 0). Rational Numbers on Number Line Rational numbers can easily represented on number line by following some simple steps. […]

Property of Rational Numbers – Additive Identity and Additive Inverse There are two basic additive properties of rational numbers. (1) Additive Identity Property (2) Additive Inverse Property (1) Additive Identity Property: Additive identity of rational numbers states that the sum of any rational number (a/b) and zero is the rational number itself. Suppose a/b is […]

Multiplicative Properties of Rational Numbers -Inverse and Identity Property There are two basic multiplicative properties of rational numbers. (1) Multiplicative Identity Property (2) Multiplicative Inverse Property Let us understand these properties with examples. (1) Multiplicative Identity Property: Multiplicative Identity Property of rational numbers states the product of for any rational number and 1 is the […]

Associative Property of Rational Numbers Associative Property Associative property of rational numbers states that when three or more rational numbers are added or multiplied the result remains same irrespective of how they are grouped. However, in the case of subtraction and division if the order of the numbers is changed then result will also change. […]
