For a reduced rational number with , the height of a rational number is
Condition (i) holds because only finitely many coprime integer pairs have bounded maximum.
Condition (iii) also holds. The standard height inequality
gives
Condition (ii) fails: for positive integers ,
whose absolute value is unbounded. Thus precisely conditions hold. This is consistent with although the additive group is not finitely generated.
