Number System: Soumyadip Pramanik

The document discusses the real number system. It defines natural numbers as the set of counting numbers starting from 1. Whole numbers include natural numbers and 0. Integers include whole numbers and their opposites. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions with integer numerators and non-zero integer denominators, and are represented by terminating or repeating decimals. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions and are represented by non-terminating, non-repeating decimals. A Venn diagram is used to classify examples of numbers as natural, whole, integer, rational or irrational.

Real Numbers
• Real numbers consist of all the rational
and irrational numbers.
• The real number system has many
subsets:
– Natural Numbers
– Whole Numbers
– Integers
The Real Number System

Rational numbers Irrational


•Can be represented as a fraction of 2 integers numbers
Integers •Cannot be
.… -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …. represented
Whole numbers as a fraction
0, 1, 2, 3, …. of 2 integers

Natural numbers
1, 2, 3, ….
Natural Numbers
• Natural numbers are the set of counting
numbers.

{1, 2, 3,…}
Whole Numbers
• Whole numbers are the set of numbers that
include 0 plus the set of natural numbers.

{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…}
Integers
• Integers are the set of whole numbers and
their opposites.

{…,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,…}


Rational Numbers
• Rational numbers are any numbers that can
be expressed in the form of a , where a and b
are integers, and b ≠ 0. b
• They can always be expressed by using
terminating decimals or repeating decimals.
Terminating Decimals
• Terminating decimals are decimals that
contain a finite number of digits.
• Examples:
 36.8
 0.125
 4.5
Repeating Decimals
• Repeating decimals are decimals that contain a infinite
number of digits.
• Examples:
 0.333…

 7.689689…
Irrational Numbers
• Irrational numbers are any numbers that cannot be
expressed a as .
b
• They are expressed as non-terminating, non-repeating
decimals; decimals that go on forever without repeating a
pattern.
• Examples of irrational numbers:
– 0.34334333433334…
– 45.86745893…
–  (pi)
– 2
Other Vocabulary Associated with
the Real Number System
• …(ellipsis)—continues without end
• { } (set)—a collection of objects or
numbers. Sets are notated by using
bracets { }.
• Finite—having bounds; limited
• Infinite—having no boundaries or limits
• Venn diagram—a diagram consisting of
circles or squares to show relationships of
a set of data.

Rational Numbers Irrational Numbers
Example
• Classify all the following numbers as natural, whole, integer,
rational, or irrational. List all that apply.
a. 117
b. 0
c. -12.64039…
d. -½
e. 6.36
f. 
g. -3
To show how these number are classified, use the Venn
diagram. Place the number where it belongs on the Venn
diagram.

Solution
• Now that all the numbers are placed where they belong in the
Venn diagram, you can classify each number:
– 117 is a natural number, a whole number, an integer, and a
rational number.
–  1 is a rational number.
2
– 0 is a whole number, an integer, and a rational number.
– -12.64039… is an irrational number.
– -3 is an integer and a rational number.
– 6.36 is a rational number.
– is an irrational number.
– is a rational number.
