There are different types of numbers

  • Natural Numbers
  • Whole Numbers
  • Integers
  • Rational Numbers
  • Irrational Numbers
  • Real numbers
  • Complex numbers

 

We can also classify numbers as

  • Odd or even
  • Prime or composite
  • Decimals, or fractions

 

Let's look at some different type of numbers

 

Natural numbers

Numbers which start from 1.

Eg:- 1, 2, 3, 4,………..

 

Whole numbers

Numbers which start from 0.

Eg:- 0,1, 2, 3, 4,………..

 

Integers

Positive and negative numbers are called integers

Eg:-  ……… -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,………..

 

Rational Numbers

Numbers which can be written in p/q form, where q ≠ 0

Eg:- 2/3, 4/5

 

Irrational Numbers

Numbers which cannot be expressed in p/q form.

Eg:- √2, √3, π

 

Real Numbers

All Numbers on number line are real numbers.
