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

See the corresponding related links for basic set theory and the definition of a relation.

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