Can we consider all whole numbers as fraction?why?
Yes, because integers are a sub-set of the rational. In other words all integers (whole numbers) can be written in the form a/b where a and b are integers, with b non-zero.charliemagne said:Can we consider all whole numbers as fraction?why?
Whole numbers as fractions are simply the representation of a whole number as a fraction with a denominator of 1. For example, the whole number 5 can be written as 5/1.
Writing whole numbers as fractions allows for better understanding and comparison of numbers. It also allows for easier operations such as addition and subtraction.
To convert a whole number to a fraction, simply write the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator. For example, 9 can be written as 9/1.
To add or subtract whole numbers as fractions, convert the whole numbers to fractions with a denominator of 1 and then perform the operation as usual. For example, 3 + 5 can be written as 3/1 + 5/1 = 8/1 = 8.
No, whole numbers can only be written as fractions with a denominator of 1. This is because whole numbers are already whole and do not have any fractional parts to represent.
