The term divisibility usually refers to integer numbers only.
I want to define the divisibility of a rational number $q$ by an integer number $z$ as follows:
$q$ is divisible by $z$ if and only if $m$ is divisible by $z$, where $\frac{m}{n}$ is the simplest form of $q$.
For example: $\frac{91}{10}$ is divisible by $7$.
Is there a mathematical notation or terminology that defines this type of "divisibility"?
This issue has occurred to me while reading a question about the divisibility of $4^n+10\cdot9^{2n-2}$ by $7$.
It is obviously not true for $n=0$, unless we can generalize the definition of divisibility for rational numbers as stated above.
Thanks
You can look the notion of discrete valuation, if p is a prime, write $x=p^ia/b$ gcd(a,b)=1, $v_p(x)=i$. Here you can say that $x$ is divisible by p if $v_p(x)>0$, if $x=m/n, gcd(m,n)=1$ write $m=p^ia$, gcd(a,p)=1 $x$ is divisible by p in your sense if and only if $v_p(x)>0$
