For a detailed explanation, see my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then look for Basic Algebra, then Samples from Basic Algebra: One Step at a Time, then Chapter 1, then Section 1.01 Number Systems.

Meanwhile, these are the systems of numbers leading up to the Real Number System.
1. Natural Numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. It's "natural" to count on your fingers!

2. Whole Numbers= 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

3. Integers = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc, also -1, -2, -3, -4, etc.

4. Rational Nunbers = any number that can be expressed as a "ratio" of two integers. This includes whole numbers, integers, fractions, terminating and repeating decimals, etc.

5. Irrational Numbers= numbers like , , , etc.

The rational and irrational numbers have NO members in common, and together they form the real number system.
