Can a greatest common factor be a rational number?
All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
What did the neo-babylonian's invent?
The neo-Babylonians invented the system of numbers
Interpreting similarities between rational and irrational numbers?

Is the number 1 a rational number?
All whole numbers (integers) are rational because they can be written as the number over 1. 1 = 1/1 so it can be written as a fraction so is rational.
What concepts did you borrow from the babylonians?
'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', meaning, if you commit a crime, your punishment will be what you did to that person. Ex: If you kill someone, you will be killed.

Who found rational numbers?
Rational numbers, which are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero), were not "found" by a single individual but rather developed over time through the work of various mathematicians. The concept dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians and Greeks, who used fractions in their calculations. The formal study and definition of rational numbers evolved through the contributions of later mathematicians such as Diophantus and al-Khwarizmi. Ultimately, rational numbers became an integral part of number theory as mathematics progressed.
What are jobs that mainly use rational numbers?
A psychiatrist's billing accountant.
How do you use negative rational numbers?
Negative rational numbers are used in the same way that negative whole numbers are used: they are simply the additive inverses of their positive counterparts.
How many units are there in rational numbers?
Rational numbers are all whole numbers over 0. It basically means that if you want to say how much cats you have, you use rational numbers. You don't have -8 cats, you don't have 0 cats and hopefully you don't have 3.5 cats. You have 4 cats. There are infinite rational numbers.
Are some rational numbers are not real numbers?
No. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. All rational numbers are real.
Are rational numbers whole numbers?
The set of rational numbers includes all whole numbers, so SOME rational numbers will also be whole number. But not all rational numbers are whole numbers. So, as a rule, no, rational numbers are not whole numbers.
