What Is Number System

1. There are different types of numbers including natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers. 2. Natural numbers are counting numbers like 1, 2, 3 etc. Whole numbers include natural numbers and 0. Integers include whole numbers and their negatives. 3. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions with integer numerator and non-zero denominator, while irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a finite or repeating decimal. Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers.

6 Counting numbers are known as natural
numbers.
6 Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...,etc.,are all
natural numbers.
6 ‘ll natural numbers together with 0 form the
collection of all whole numbers.
6 Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...,etc.,are all
whole numbers.
6 Every natural number is a whole number.
6 0 is a whole number which is not a natural
number.
6 ‘ll natural numbers, 0 and negatives of
natural numbers form the collection of all
integers.
6 Thus, ..., -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5,...,etc., are all integers.
6 Every natural number is an integer.
6 Every whole number is an integer.
6‘ rational number is a number that can be
expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q
are integers and q0, are known as rational
number.
6 0 is a rational number, since we can write, 0
= 0/1
6 Every natural number is a rational number,
since we can write, 1=1/1, 2=2/1, 3=3/1,
etc.
6 Every integer is a rational number.
6‘ rational number p/q is said to be in
simplest form, if p and q are integers having
no common factor other than 1 and q0.
6 Thus, the simplest form of each of 2/4, 3/6,
4/8, 5/10, etc., is ½.
6 Every rational number is expressible either as
a terminating decimal or as a repeating
decimal.
6 Every terminating decimal is a rational
number.
6 Every repeating decimal is a rational number.
6‘ number which can neither be expressed as
a termnating decimal nor as a repeating
decimal, is called an irrational numbers.

6 TYPE - I
6 Clearly, 0.01001000100001... is a
nonterminating and non repeating decimals
and therefore, it is irrational.
6 TYPE ² II
6 If m is a positive interger which is not a
perfect square, then ¥m is irrational.
6 Thus ¥2, ¥3, ¥5, ¥6, ¥7, etc., are all
irrational numbers.
6 The Number š: š is a number whose exact
value is not 22/7.
6 In fact š has a value which is
nonterminating and non repeating.
6 So, š is irrational, while 22/7 is rational.
6 Terminating Decimal
6 Every fraction p/q can be expressed as a
decimal.If the decimal expression of p/q
terminates, i.e., comes to an end, then the
decimal so obtained is called a terminating
decimal.
6 Examples
6 ¼=0.25
6 5/8=0.625
6 2 &3/5=2.6
6‘ decimal in which a digit or a set of digits
repeats periodically, is called a repeating or
recurring decimal.
6 In a recurring decimal, we place a bar over
the first block of the repeating part and omit
the other repeating blocks.
6 Examples
6 2/3=0.666...=0.6
6 3/11=0.272727...=2.142857
6 11/6=1.8333...=1.83
6‘ number whose square is non-negative, is
called a real number.In fact, all rational and
all irrationalnumbers form the collection of
all real number.
6 Every real number is either rational or
irrational.
6 Closure property-The product of two real
numbers is always a real number.
6 ‘ssociative law- (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) for all real
numbers a, b, c.
6 Commutative law- a+b=b+a for all real
numbers a & b.
6 Existence of ‘dditive Identity-Clearly, 0 is a
real number such that 0+a=a+0=a for every
real number a. 0 is called the additive
identity for real numbers.
6 Existenceof ‘dditive Inverse-For each real
number a, there exists a real number(-a)
such that a+(-a)=(-a)+a=0.
a and (-a) are called the additive inverse (or
negative) of each other.
6 Closure Property-The product of two real
numbers is always a real number.
6 ‘ssociate Property- (ab)c=a(bc) for all real
numbers a, b, c.
6 Commutative Law- ab=ba for all real
numbers a and b.
6 Suppose we are given a number whose
denominator is irrational.Then, the process
of converting its denominator to a rational
number by multiplying its numerator and
denominator by a suitable number, is called
rationalisation.
