In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient a/b of two integers, with the denominator b not equal to zero. Since b may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by a boldface Q (or blackboard bold , Unicode U+211a ℚ), which stands for quotient.

In C/C++ languages all int, float, and doubles hold rational numbers as long as they contain a finite number of digits.
