What are the subsets of real numbers?

The subsets of real numbers refer to the different categories into which real numbers can be divided. The most common subsets include natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. Natural numbers are positive counting numbers and do not include zero. Whole numbers are the set of natural numbers including zero. Integers consist of both positive and negative whole numbers, along with zero. Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers. Lastly, irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction and their decimal representation is non-terminating and non-repeating. These subsets help to classify and understand the different types of real numbers that exist.
