The paper constructs and investigates an integral rational interpolant of the nth order on a continuum set of nodes, which is the ratio of a functional polynomial of the first degree to a functional polynomial of the (n-1)th degree. Subintegral kernels are determined from the corresponding continuum conditions. Additionally, we obtain an integral equation to determine the kernel of the numerator integral. This integral equation, using elementary transformations, is reduced to the standard form of the integral Volterra equation of the second kind. Substituting the obtained solution into expressions for the rest of the kernels, we obtain expressions for all kernels included in the integral rational interpolant. Then, in order for a rational functional of the nth order to be interpolation on continuous nodes, it is sufficient for this functional to satisfy the substitution rule. Note that the resulting interpolant preserves any rational functional of the obtained form.
