Natural Numbers
A positive whole number including zero. Represented as N = (0,1,2,3,4 ....)
Integer Numbers
Integers are like whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers ... but still no fractions allowed. Represented as Z = (...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...)
Rational Numbers
A number that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio. An example of this is 8 or even 1/8. Represented as Q
Irrational Numbers
A number that cannot be represented as a fraction or ratio, the decimal form will contain infinite repeating values. An example of this is √7 because it cannot be simplified.
Real Numbers
Any positive or negative number with or without a fractional part.
Ordinal Numbers
A number used to identify the relative position of one number to another. Unlike the other types of numbers it does not have a representative symbol. An example of this would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Cardinal Numbers
A Cardinal Number is a number that says how many of something there are, such as one, two, three, four, five.
Real Algebraic
The real subset of the algebraic numbers: the real roots of polynomials. Real algebraic numbers may be rational or irrational. √2 = 1.41421... is irrational. Irrational decimal expansions neither end nor repeat. Represented as AR
