Natural Numbers:
A system of natural numbers ,which are divisible by 2 or are multiples of 2, is called a set of
even numbers.
E= (2,4,6,8,10,12……..)
A system of natural numbers ,which are not divisible by 2 ,is called a set of odd numbers.
O= (1,3,5,7,9………)
Taking together the odd and even numbers, we get natural numbers.
4. Whole Numbers:
5. Prime Numbers:
1. Whole numbers greater than 1 that are divisible by unity and itself only.
2. Except 2 all other prime numbers are odd. P= 2,3,5,7,11,13,………. etc.
6. Composite Numbers:
1. The integers consists of natural numbers , zero and negative of natural numbers. Thus , Z or I
= …………………,-4,-3,-2,-1, 0 , 1,2,3,4…………….
2. There are infinite integers towards positive side and infinite integers towards negative side .
3. Positive integers are the natural numbers.
Use of Integers
The integers are used to express our day-to-day situations in mathematical terms.
8. Rational Numbers:
Any number which can be expressed in the form of , where a and b both are integers
and , is a rational number.
2. , etc are not rational numbers since these numbers cannot be expressed as .
So, we can say that rational numbers contain all integers and all fractions (including
decimals). There are infinite number of rational numbers.
1. Every integer is a rational number but the converse is not true. The same result is true for
natural numbers, whole numbers, fractions, etc.
2.
9. Irrational Numbers:
Then numbers which are not rational are called irrational numbers .
The absolute value of an integer is its numerical value regardless of it’s sign.
Absolute value of
