Question

Write the numerator and denominator of each of the following rational numbers.

$\frac{-15}{17}$

Answer 1

A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ where $\mathrm{p}$ is numerator and $\mathrm{q}$ denominator. Or

As we know that the number written above the line in a rational number is known as the Numerator and the number written below the line is known as the Denominator.

So, in $\frac{-15}{17}$ rational number,

Numerator $=-15$

Denominator $=17$

Hence, the numerator and denominator of rational number $\frac{-15}{17}$ is $-15$ and $17$ respectively.
