Number System (Definitions with Examples)

1. Natural Numbers (N)

Natural numbers are counting numbers starting from 1.

N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}
Example: 1, 7, 15

2. Whole Numbers (W)

Whole numbers include zero and all natural numbers.

W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}
Example: 0, 6, 20

3. Integers (Z)

Integers include negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers.

Z = {…, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}


Example: −4, 0, 9

4. Positive Integers

All integers greater than zero.

Z⁺ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}
Example: 2, 8, 25

5. Negative Integers

All integers less than zero.

Z⁻ = {…, −5, −4, −3, −2, −1}


Example: −1, −6, −12

6. Rational Numbers (Q)

A number that can be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Q = p/q
Examples:
1/2, −3/5, 4/1, 0/7

7. Irrational Numbers

Numbers that cannot be written in the form p/q. Their decimal form is non-terminating and
non-repeating.

Examples:
√2, √3, √5, π

8. Real Numbers (R)

All rational and irrational numbers together form real numbers.

R = Rational Numbers ∪ Irrational Numbers


Examples:
−3, 1/2, √7, 0

9. Zero (0)

Zero represents no quantity. It is neither positive nor negative.

Example:
0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
