Core definitions and sets

p/q where p, q are integers and q ≠ 0

0 = 0/1

Signs, equivalent forms, and standard form

p/q = (p × m)/(q × m) = (p ÷ m)/(q ÷ m)

a/b = c/d ⇒ a × d = b × c

Operations on rational numbers

a/b + (-a/b) = 0

a/b × b/a = 1

(a/b) × (c/d + e/f) = (a/b × c/d) + (a/b × e/f)

(a/b) × (c/d - e/f) = (a/b × c/d) - (a/b × e/f)

Division of rational numbers

a/b ÷ c/d = a/b × d/c
