Good god Huggy...this is like, 6th grade math here.

All this talk and still no numbers...

This guy can't be serious.

Life really is like a box of chocolates, isn't it, Huggy? I'll bet you play a hell of a game of Ping-Pong, too.

it's real easy, All you have to do is post the two numbers surgenator divided to come up with the "ratio" of 34/23.7, you can prove me wrong right here...

A hundred brain cells just died in my head after reading today's posts...

You people....

34 and 23.7.

You *still* don't know the myriad ways ratios can be expressed despite being pointed to a source that would tell you.

are you trying to say 34/23.7 is a fraction?

A Rational Number is a real number that can be written as a simple fraction (i.e. as a ratio).

Are you trying to say that ratios can only be expressed as simple fractions?

You're wrong.

If you doubt otherwise, feel free to express the golden ratio as a simple fraction. Not an approximation of it - THE golden ratio (which is itself calculated as (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2.

We'll wait.

Hint: sqrt(5) is an irrational number, so good luck with that.

There really are only two types of people in the world, those that don’t do math, and those that take care of them.

Phi & Pi are NOT rational numbers, so no, they cannot be written in fraction form.


so the two numbers that you gave to be divided by each other

Quote:A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers

All numbers that are not rational are considered irrational. An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction.

An irrational number has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point. Here are some irrational numbers:

π = 3.141592…

square root of 2 = 1.414213…
