Although infinite in number, they are very much a minor subset of the real numbers.

If A denotes the number cardinality of rational numbers (the size of the set), then the cardinality of Irrational Numbers is 2A.

In mathematics, A is "Aleph-null" but I cannot get this xenophobic browser to accept characters from other languages.
