Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as fractions of integers, such as 4 3 ​ or 1.5. In contrast, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as simple fractions and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions, such as π and 2 ​ . Understanding the difference between these two types of numbers is fundamental in mathematics.
