Here's a couple. Of course, there are an infinite number of them.

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any two rational numbers no matter how small the difference between the original two. Also, between any two irrational numbers there are an infinite number of rational numbers and between any two rational numbers there are an infinite number of irrational numbers.
