SUBSETS OF REAL
NUMBERS

Monette Brezuela
 OBJECTIVES
• Identify the different subsets of real
numbers and how they are classified.

• illustrate the different subsets of real

numbers.
 REMEMBER
• Natural numbers - numbers we use in counting/counting
numbers
• Whole numbers - counting numbers with zero.
• Integers - composed of any whole number and its negative
including zero.
• Rational numbers - - numbers that can be expressed as a
fraction 𝑎/ 𝑏 where b≠0.
• Irrational Numbers - numbers that cannot be written as a
fraction 𝑎 /𝑏 where a and b are integers.
• Real Numbers - union of rational and irrational numbers.
