So, lets talk about numbers. There are Rational numbers, Integers, Whole numbers, Natural numbers, and irrational numbers.
Rational Numbers- A real number that can be written as a quotient of two integers.
Example: 1.5 is a rational number because 1.5=3/2 (can be written as a fraction)
More examples of Rational numbers are 3/4, .75, -5, and 4
Integers- A number with no fractional part.
Includes the counting numbers (1,2,3,4,…); Zero(0), and the negative of the counting numbers(-1,-2,-3,-4,…)
Whole Numbers- A no fractional or decimal part, and no negatives.
Some examples 5, 49, 980, 8, and 9.
Natural numbers- The whole numbers from 1 upwards: 1,2,3 and so on, or from 0 upward in some mathematics fields: 0,1,2,3
** NO NEGATIVE NUMBERS!
Irrational Numbers- A number that cannot be written as a simple fraction / The decimal goes on forever without repeating
Example: It is an Irrational number
