2.  Can be put in fractional form  The decimal form of the number either terminates (ends) or repeats.  Counting numbers, whole numbers, integers and non-integers are all rational.

3. Examples:  Counting numbers {1,2,3,4,5…}  Whole numbers {0,1,2,3,4,5…}  Integers {…-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5…}  Non-integers {5.25, 0.6, 0.18181818, -9.261 Repeating Decimal Terminating decimal

4.  Can NOT be written as a fraction.  The decimal form of the number never terminates and never repeats.

5.  Example:  Pi π 3.141592654…… Does not terminate, does not repeat.
