the natural numbers are the integers (with or without zero...this is questionable).

So, your number is not an integer, so not Natural..It is however Real...so it belongs in the Real Set.

there are many set of numbers:
Count number set = {1,2,3,4,..........}
N=Natural Numbers set ={0,1,2,3,4,......}
It consists of count numbers set with zero
Z= Integer numbers set = {....,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,....}
Z= All natural numbers set with negatives.
Q= Rational numbers set ={a/b: a,b are integers, b doesn't equal zero}
Q= All integers with all decimials and fractions
Q`=Irrational numbers set (numbers cannot be in Q)
Q` doesn't contain any number from Q "it contains numbers as Sqrt3, Pi, etc"
R=Real numbers set"All numbers represented on number's line"
R contains all previous sets
so we find 3 1/2 in Q, R only and it doesn't contained in N or Z

Not naturals, rather real numbers would be correct.
