remember:
A rational+number is a number that can be expressed as a
fraction p%2Fq where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.
A rational number p%2Fq is said to have numerator+p and denominator+q.
so, if you have -1 over 3, your numerator+p is -1 and denominator+q is 3
now write it as a fraction p%2Fq:
p%2Fq=-1%2F3
