A Rational Number that is not an Integer?

Here, we have to prove for a rational number that is not an integer number. A rational number is the number of the form p / q and an integer is the number that has an integer value and always comes in the Whole Number. Now, any number which is a rational number but not integer. For example taking in consideration 3 / 4 that is a rational number but is not an integer. Converting this number in to integral part, so we can write it as: 3 / 4 = 0.75 0.75 is not an integer number.

Similarly, in mathematics of numbers, we have a number of Rational Numbers (like 1/5, 6/8 and many more) that are not integer numbers. Each and every integer number can be written in the form of rational number but it is always not possible that all the rational number can also be represented in the form of integer number. To check that a rational number that is not an integer number we have to only check that whether the number can be written in the form of integer or a whole number format.
