Number Sets

Each number set contains the number set before it:


  • N: Natural Numbers - ie all whole numbers - 0,1,2... onwards
  • Z: Integers - ie all N plus negative integers - -2,-1,0,1,2...
  • D: Decimals - ie all Z plus fractions that
  • Q: Rationals - ie
  • R: Reals - ie all Q plus the irrationals, which are decimals that neither terminate nor recurr
