A real number is a value that represents a quantity along the continuous line. The real numbers include all the rational numbers, such as the integer −5 and the fraction 4/3, and all the irrational numbers such as (1.41421356� the square root of two, an irrational algebraic number) and pi (3.14159265�, a transcendental number).
Real numbers can be thought of as points on an infinitely long line called the number line or real line, where the points corresponding to integers are equally spaced. Any real number can be determined by a possibly infinite decimal representation such as that of 8.632, where each consecutive digit is measured in units one tenth the size of the previous one.

Every number on the number line is a real number. So all rational and irrational numbers.
