The set of positive integers less than 50 is finite (there are 49).The set of all integers less than 50 is infinite, because it includes an infinite number of negative numbers.
Start with the set of Natural numbers = N.Combine these with negative natural numbers and you get the set of Integers = Z.Combine these with ratios of two integers, the second of which is positive, and you get the set of Rational numbers = Q.Start afresh with numbers which are not rational, nor the roots of finite polynomial equations. This is the set of transcendental numbers.Combine these with the non-rational roots of finite polynomial equations and you have the set of Irrational Numbers.Combine the rational and irrational numbers and you have the set of Real numbers, R.

It is a terminating decimal.
Think about it - this one is fairly simple. Ask yourself the question: "Does this set have a largest element?" If the answer is "yes", then the set is finite. If the answer is "no", the set is infinite. Note: This reasoning works for subsets of natural numbers; for integers, additional adjustments are needed.
