The so-called "real numbers" are simply numbers that permit decimals. Think of them as numbers in scientific notation, which allow very big or very small exponents (somewhere in the range of -300 to +300), and about 15 significant digits. Since their precision is not unlimited, they do not exactly correspond to what is called "real numbers" in mathematics.
