A rational number can be described as a quotient when the divisor is not zero because it represents the division of two integers. In other words, a rational number is the result of dividing one whole number (numerator) by another whole number (denominator). As long as the divisor is not zero, the quotient can be expressed as a rational number.
A rational number can be described as a quotient when the divisor is not zero because it is defined as the ratio of two integers. In the fraction form, a rational number can be represented as a numerator (the top part of the fraction) divided by a non-zero denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). For example, if we have the rational number 2/3, we can describe it as the quotient of 2 divided by 3. The numerator represents the dividend and the denominator represents the divisor. As long as the divisor is not zero, the rational number can be represented as a quotient.
