Type of Numbers: Natural, Whole, Integers, Rational, Irrational & Real

Natural Numbers(N):

Natural Numbers are counting numbers from 1,2,3,4,5,................

N = {1,2,3,4,5,................}

Whole Numbers (W):

Whole numbers are natural numbers including zero. They are 0,1,2,3,4,5,...............

W = {0,1,2,3,4,5,..............}

W = 0 + N

Positive Numbers:

Positive numbers are, 1,2 ,3 ,4 ,5.................

Positive Numbers: {1, 2, 3, . . .}

Negative Numbers:

Negative numbers are, ............-3, -2, -1.

Negative integers: { . . . -3, -2, -1}

Integers (Z):

•

Whole Numbers together with negative numbers.

•

Integers are set containing the positive numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...., and negative

numbers,............-3, -2, -1, together with zero.

•

Zero is neither positive nor negative, but is both.

•

In other words, Integers are defined as set of whole numbers and their

opposites.

•

Z = {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, .....}

Rational Numbers (Q):

•

All numbers of the form , where a and b are integers (but b cannot be zero)

•

Rational numbers include fractions:

* Proper Fraction: Numbers smaller than 1 eg: 1/2 or 3/4

* Improper Fraction: Numbers greater than 1 eg: 5/2
