Yes, they are.
I would hope all elections use rational numbers: all Counting numbers are Rational numbers.
-3 is a real, rational, whole integer. But then, -- All integers are real rational whole numbers. -- All whole numbers are real rational integers. -- All rational numbers are real. -- All counting numbers are real, rational, whole integers.
No. Rational numbers are those numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. 2.4, for example, is a rational number (it can be written as the ratio 12/5), but not a counting number.
Counting numbers are a proper subset of whole numbers which are the same as integers which are a proper subset of rational numbers.
First of all counting numbers (positive integers) are rational numbers so without rational numbers there would be no counting. You could not equitably share one item between two or more people without fractions (rational numbers). Everything does not come in whole numbers - there are times when you need half-a-day, or 2.5 teaspoons, etc.
Yes. Not only that, they are counting numbers.
Since all counting numbers are rational numbers, arithmetic would never have started. There would have been no science nor technology.
No. "Natural" numbers are the counting numbers, otherwise known as the positive integers. They are all rational.
use in counting
the set of real numbers are the numbers which make the entire number system. they include all the different number systems like integers,rational numbers,irrational numbers,whole numbers & natural numbers.
They are not. They are countably infinite. That is, there is a one-to-one mapping between the set of rational numbers and the set of counting numbers.
Every counting number, and the negative of it, are real, rational integers.
