Different numbers
Natural numbers N are positive numbers (1, 2, 3 … )
Integers numbers Z are the numbers N expanded with the ‘negative’ of the natural number (-1, 0, 1 ..)
𝐴
Rational numbers Q are integers expanded with fractions ( 𝐵 , A ∈ Z, B ∈ Z, 𝐵 ≠ 0 )
Real numbers R are all numbers (N, Z, Q, algebraic numbers (√), transcendental number (π)
Note that: N 𝐶 Z 𝐶 Q 𝐶 R (N is a subset of Z, Z is a subset of Q, Q is a subset or R)
