CLASSIFICATION OF NUMBERS

In this lesson we’re gonna learnig about the different of classification of numbers which
include natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and
real numbers. So the most basic type classification of numbers are the natural numbers. And
This is a symbol that we used to represent them N. natural numbers include number such as
1,2,3,4,5,… . they are often to as counting numbers. natural numbers not include 0 and
negative numbers as well as any decimals. So an easy ways to remember this is the think of it
like this, we are naturally countings starting from 1 and go on to 2,3,4,5,6 until 4, but rarely
do we count star from 0. Therefore this is the innermost basic classification of number.

The next learn of numbers are the whole numbers. Whole numbers can often be denoted
using this symbol W. know the classification of whole numbers are exactly like natural
numbers. And I did include all of the natural numbers it also include 0. Instead of starting
from 1 whole numbers start from 0, another cool way to remember this isn’t think about it
like this. whole numbers are exactly the same as natural number except that they start from
the number that looks a whole. Therefore whole numbers include natural numbers and this
means that any natural number is also considered a whole number. But not necessarily the
other way around since 0 is not a natural number. Don’t however that the classification of
these two are still a little bit hazy as some places might teach you that natural number do in
fact include 0. Disregarding the classification of whole numbers, entiraly it is commen see
that in set theory or in computer science since in these fields they actually do count starting
from 0. But for the sake this video we’re just going to include the classification of whole
number as well. The next classification of numbers is something you are likely to have heard
to before, there are called integers.
Integers can often be denoted using this symbol Z. integers include all the same numbers as
whole numbers like0, 1,2,3,… except they also include all the negative all of them as -1,-2,-3,
-4 and so on, but again integers don’t include decimal or fraction numbers.

The next classification of numbers are called rational numbers which can be denoted using
this symbol, and again rational numbers encompass all of the other classification that we’re
mentioned so far as well as decimal and fraction. However the decimal numbers must be
numbers that can be expressed as a fraction where P and Q are integers and Q is not 0, so for
example 17 over 3 is equal to 5,666 repeating and since the numerator and denominator are
both integers this is effect considered a rational numbers. Now where as this looks fairly
organized with its repeating sixes even semething like 19 over 17 which yields this rather
unpredictable looking decimal would still be considered a rational number and why because
this is an integers, and this is also an integer that is not the to 0.

So if I told you that I’m thinking of a natural number and that is a natural number can you
assume that this number is also a rational number definitely you can also assume that it’s
whole number since that’s a bigger set you can even assume that it’s also an integer since it’s
an even bigger set than that of a whole number and finally as we mentioned you can also
assume that it’s a rational number since rational numbers are a bigger set that the set of
integers. we can compare it to something like this if we said that there is a person in Tokyo
can we also assume that this person is in japan, well abviously as well would we be correct to
assume that this person is also in asia absolutely since Tokyo is in japan and because japan is
in asia and finally would it be okay to assume that this person is on earth well of course
because earth is even bigger of a set than asia. now there’s a while different set of numbers
that is not within any of these. this set numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.

Lastly the definition of real numbers is last classification that we’ll talk about altought there
are some other classification you might learn later on down the road, real numbers are
simply all of the rational and irrational numbers combine. so pay close attention to how
certain number sets are literally in the other since, but just remember that even tought saying
that a person in Tokyo must also be in japan is correct. the revers isn’t always correct if this
person is in japan it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are in Tokyo maybe they’re in Osaka
or wherever else in japan. similarly while we can say for example that all national numbers
are also integers we cannot say that all integers are natural numbers, the same appliens to the
rest of the layers of classification.
