Consider the definition of a rational number. A rational number is the one that can be written in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. 0 can be written as 0/1, 0/2, 0/3.... so on ) can be written as 0/(-1), 0/(-2), 0/(-3)... as well So, we arrive at the conclusion that 0 can be written in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers ( q can be positive or negative integers). Therefore, zero is a rational number.
