The relation ''less than or equal to," written as ≤, has the following three properties on the set of real numbers, R:
1) x ≤ x for any x Є R
2) If x ≤ y and y ≤ x then x = y for any x, y Є R
3) If x ≤ y and y ≤ z then x ≤ z for any x, y, z Є R

Also, this relation is an example of a partial ordering relation, see the corresponding related link for more information.

An inequality is simply a relation between two mathematical expressions that is not strictly equal. For example, the relation can be "greater than" (>), less than (
Transitive Property (mathematics), property of a mathematical relation such that if the relation holds between a and b and between b and c, then it also exists between a and c. The equality relation, for example, is transitive because if a = b and b = c, then a = c. Other transitive relations include greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (?), and less than or equal to (?).
