represented in the form of p/q where q 0 and p and q are integers are called Rational numbers. Rational numbers are denoted by Q. If p and q are coprime then the rational number is in its simplest form. Irrational numbers are the numbers which are non-terminating and non-repeating. Rational and irrational numbers together constitute Real numbers and it is denoted by R. Equivalent rational numbers (or fractions) have same (equal) values when written in the simplest form. Terminating fractions are the fractions

Integers are the natural numbers of (0‚ 1‚2‚3‚4….)and the negative non zero numbers of (-1‚-2‚-3‚-4….)and so forth. Integers are numbers without a fractional or decimal component. Example: 23‚ 5‚ and -567 are integers‚ 8.45‚ 5½‚ and √2 are not integers. Integers are any number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

As a subset of the real numbers‚ the integers‚ such as 5‚ express discrete rather than continuous quantities. Complex numbers include real numbers as a special case. Real numbers can be divided into rational numbers‚ such as 42 and −23/129‚ and irrational numbers‚ such as pi and the square root of two. A real number can be given by an infinite decimal representation
