The Real Number System

The Real Number System. The Real Number System is divided into two categories: Rational and Irrational. Rational Numbers : Numbers, such as ½ and –3/1 that can be written as a ratio of two integers. Irrational Numbers : Real numbers, such as square root of 2 or , that are not rational.
