  1. NUMBER SYSTEMS ⅝ 25 √7 π -4.15

  2. NATURAL NUMBERS Natural numbers are the set of counting numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, … And so on, with NO end

  3. WHOLE NUMBERS Whole numbers are the set of numbers that include 0 plus the set of natural numbers. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,… And so on, with NO end

  4. INTEGERS Integers are the set of whole numbers and their opposites. …-4,-3,-2 ,-1,0, 1, 2, 3, 4,… And so on, with NO end, in Both directions

  5. RATIONAL NUMBERS Rational numbers are any numbers that can be expressed in the form of , where a and b are integers, and b≠ 0. They can always be expressed by using terminating decimals or repeating decimals. Examples: ⅔, 45, .29, ⅞, -106, √81, -8.6605, 4.13

  6. Terminating Decimals • Terminating decimals are decimals that contain a finite number of digits. • Examples: • 36.8 • 0.125 • 4.5

  7. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS • Irrational numbers are any numbers that cannot be expressed as . • 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… • π (pi) • √2

  8. All of these number systems fit together to form the Real Numbers. • Real numbers consist of all the rational and irrational numbers. • The real number system has many subsets: • Natural Numbers • Whole Numbers • Integers

  9. Venn Diagram of the Real Number System Rational Numbers Irrational Numbers Integers Whole Numbers Natural Numbers

  10. Example • Classify all the following numbers as natural, whole, integer, rational, or irrational. List all that apply. • 117 • 0 • -12.64039… • -½ • 6.36 • -3

  11. To show how these number are classified, use the Venn diagram. Place the number where it belongs on the Venn diagram. -12.64039… Rational Numbers Irrational Numbers 6.36 Integers π -3 0 Whole Numbers Natural Numbers 117

  12. 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. • is a rational number. • 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. • π is an irrational number. • is a rational number.

  13. FYI…For Your Information When taking the square root of any number that is not a perfect square, the resulting decimal will be non-terminating and non-repeating. Therefore, those numbers are always irrational.
