The set of rational numbers includes all the whole numbers.

Rational numbers are ratios of integers (the denominator cannot be zero). Each whole number can be written in fraction form:  for example,  7  = 7/1  etc. Therefore, each whole number can be written as a ratio of integers.

 

The set of rational numbers includes all the integers for the reason stated above.
