Can a number be both whole and irrational?
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
Why are there greatest common factors and not least common factors?
1 is the least common factor of all whole numbers, so there is nothing to choose for a least common factor. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a set of two or more numbers is the largest factor that will divide into every number in the set without leaving any remainder. 1 is the least, or smallest, factor common to all whole numbers.
Do all numbers have at least one prime factor?
All whole numbers except for -1, 0 and 1 have at least one prime factor.
Is the number 56 a rational number whole number natural number or irrational number?
56 is a rational whole natural number. Or to put it another way: 56 is a Natural number, but as all natural numbers are also whole numbers 56 is also a whole number, but as all whole numbers are also rational numbers 56 is also a rational number. Natural numbers are a [proper] subset of whole numbers; Whole numbers are a [proper] subset of rational numbers. The set of rational numbers along with the set of irrational numbers make up the set of real numbers
True or false Are all whole numbers are natural numbers?
It depends, many people do count 0 as a natural number, but MOST do not. So for most HS text book, the answer is NO, all whole numbers are not natural numbers and the reason is 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
