The set of all integers is a subset of the set of all rational numbers. So, every integer is also a rational number. Therefore, 1 is a rational number.

To look at it another way, the definition of a rational number is a number that can be expressed as a/b, where a and b are both integers and b is not equal to zero. In the case of the rational number 1, a = b = 1 (so 1 = 1/1).

1 is the loneliest number. It's basically rational, but sometimes it acts a little weird around holidays, Valentine's, etc.

Did he tell you not to ask him?

If you know the definition of a rational number, you should be able to tell for yourself.
