Are the following statements true or false?Give reason for your answer.Every rational number is an integer.

Given: 

Every rational number is an integer.

To find: 

We need to check whether the given statement is true or false.

Solution: 

Integers:

Integers are like whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers.

• It includes negative numbers $(-1, -2, -3, -4, ………)$

• It includes positive numbers $(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ………)$

• It includes Zero

• Decimal number and fractions are not included in integers.

Rational Numbers:

A number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero is a rational number.

Rational numbers like $\frac{5}{2}$, $\frac{-10}{3}$ are not integers.

Therefore, every rational number is not an integer.

The given statement is false.
