In this paper, we investigate approximate fixed point results for ratio[1]nal contraction mappings in a metric space. This manuscript’s inten[1]tion is to demonstrate approximate fixed point results and the diam[1]eter of the approximate fixed point results on metric spaces. Particu[1]larly, we use some rational contraction mappings, which were mainly discussed in Dass and Gupta [1975] and Jaggi [1977]. A few ex[1]amples are included to illustrate our results. Also, we discuss some applications of approximate fixed point results in the field of mathe[1]matics rigorously
