N or the set of the natural numbers are the counting numbers you would use to count with (1,2,3,4,5,...).
W or the set of whole numbers are the same as natural numbers but you also include 0 (0,1,2,3,4,5,...).
Z or the set of integers are the set of natural numbers, together with zero and their negative counterparts and include (...-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,...).
Q is the set of rational numbers that can be described as the ratio between two integers (examples are 1/2, 5/17, -2/3,...). Most repeating patterned numbers fall into this category.
I is the set of irrational numbers and every other number not in W, Z, or Q falls into this category.
Examples are
which approximates to 3.1415926
which is approximately 2.71828
which approximates to 1.4142135.
Your number falls into Q.
It is the ratio of two integers.
In fact the two integers are 689 and 5247, 689/5247=0.13131313...
