When mathematicians talk about rational numbers, they mean posi tive and negative whole numbers (which can be represented as ratios, e.g., 2 = 2/1 = 6/3, etc.), zero, and common fractions. The positive and negative whole numbers and zero are also called integers, therefore the class of rational numbers contains the class of integers.
