NUMBERS AND THEIR TYPES

Natural Numbers

Set of all numbers which is beginning with 1, 2,... is called as Natural numbers

This is the symbol of representing the set of natural numbers.

Whole Numbers

Set of all numbers which is beginning with 0, 1, 2, 3...is called as whole numbers

This is the symbol of representing the set of whole numbers.

Integers

Integers are set of all whole numbers and their opposites. We are using number line to denote integers....-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3....

This is the symbol of representing the set of integers.

Fractions

Fractions are numbers expressed as the ratio of two numbers, and are used mainly to express as a comparison between a part and a whole. …,-1, -¾, -½, -¼, 0, ¼, ½, ¾,1,…..

Decimals

In this type the numbers always containing point. If we multiply the decimal with 10, 100, 1000 or 10000 like that the decimal will move from right side.
