A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal which cannot be written as a fraction is called an irrational number.
If the irrational number cannot be expressed the solution to a finite polynomial it is further called a transcendental number.
√2 is the solution to x^2 = 2, so it only called an irrational number.
e (the base of natural logarithms) can be calculated as the value of f(x) = 1 + x/(1!) + (x^2)/(2!) + (x^3)/(3!) + ... when x = 1, ie f(1) = e, and is a transcendental number.
π (the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference) is also a transcendental number.

When were fractions discovered?
Historically, any number that did not represent a whole was called a "fraction". The numbers that we now call "decimals" were originally called "decimal fractions"; the numbers we now call "fractions" were called "vulgar fractions", the word "vulgar" meaning "commonplace". The word is also used in related expressions, such as continued fraction and algebraic fraction-see Special cases below.

All whole numbers that are positive negative or zero are called?
They are called integers. Fractions and decimals are NOT integers, even if it has a positive or negative sign.
What numbers are also called natural numbers?
Natural numbers are non-negative whole numbers (no decimals or fractions). This would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc...
