If Rationalize returns a rational number , then :

When Rationalize[x] returns x unchanged, there is no rational number satisfying this:

Get the rational approximations with smallest denominator error dx through machine precision:

The residual of the inequality is positive for all of these rational approximations:

SetPrecision[x,∞] and Rationalize[x,0] both give rational approximations for real x:

Rationalize[x,0] gives a rational that is equivalent to x up to the precision of x:

SetPrecision[x,∞] gets a rational directly from the bitwise representation of x:

Rationalize and RootApproximant both give exact quantities approximating real x:

RootApproximant[x] gives an algebraic number equivalent to x up to the precision of x:

Rationalize[x,0] gives a rational number equivalent to x up to the precision of x:
