Posted: June 23, 2011 in Tutorials

Real numbers are basically actual numbers that exists. That includes rational, irrational, whole, integers, and natural numbers.

Rational numbers are numbers able to be put as a fraction.

Irrational numbers cannot be put as a fraction (ex: 3.141592)

Whole numbers are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5….
Natural numbers are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… (basically 0 is not a natural number)

Integers are numbers that are both positive and negative

ex: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (including 0)
