In mathematics, given a subset S of a totally or partially ordered set T, the supremum (sup) of S, if it exists, is the least element of T which is greater than or equal to any element of S. Consequently, the supremum is also referred to as the least upper bound (lub or LUB). If the supremum exists, it is unique. If S contains a greatest element, then that element is the supremum; otherwise, the supremum does not belong to S (or does not exist). For instance, the negative real numbers do not have a greatest element, and their supremum is 0 (which is not a negative real number).
Suprema are often considered for subsets of real numbers, rational numbers, or any other well-known mathematical structure for which it is immediately clear what it means for an element to be "greater-than-or-equal-to" another element. The definition generalizes easily to the more abstract setting of order theory, where one considers arbitrary partially ordered sets.
The concept of supremum coincides with the concept of least upper bound, but not with the concepts of minimal upper bound, maximal element, or greatest element. The supremum is in a precise sense dual to the concept of an infimum.

What set of numbers does -1 over 7 belong?
It belongs to the rational numbers which is a subset of the real numbers. The reals, in turn, is a subset of complex numbers.
Is real numbers a subset of Integers?
You have it backwards. Integers are a subset of real numbers.
Which is the largest subset of a real numbers?
The real numbers, themselves. Every set is a subset of itself.
What are the hierarchy of real numbers?
Starting at the top, we have the real numbers. The rational numbers is a subset of the reals. So are the irrational numbers. Now some rationals are integers so that is a subset of the rationals. Then a subset of the integers is the whole numbers. The natural numbers is a subset of those.
Which sets of numbers are a subset of the real numbers?
The natural numbers (ℕ) are a subset of the integers (ℤ) which are a subset of the rational numbers (ℚ) which are a subset of the real numbers (ℝ): ℕ ⊂ ℤ ⊂ ℚ ⊂ ℝ → ℕ ⊂ ℝ and ℤ ⊂ ℝ as well as ℚ ⊂ ℝ
What sets of numbers does the square root of 10 belong to?
Irrational Numbers which are a subset of Real Numbers which are a subset of Complex Numbers ...
What set of numbers does -1 over 7 belong?
It belongs to the rational numbers which is a subset of the real numbers. The reals, in turn, is a subset of complex numbers.
What set of numbers does -0.002 belong to?
Rational (ℚ) which is a subset of Real (ℝ) which is a subset of Complex (ℂ).
To which real number subset do the following real numbers belong 122 -64 0.3?
5
What subset of real numbers does the fraction belong?
I'm just telling you this ahead of time...but i'm not 100% sure with this answer..: fractions belong in the Rational Numbers
Are real numbers a subset of natural numbers?
No because natural numbers are a subset of real numbers
Is real numbers a subset of Integers?
You have it backwards. Integers are a subset of real numbers.
Integers are a subset of what types of numbers?
Integers are a subset of rational numbers which are a subset of real numbers which are a subset of complex numbers ...
Which is the largest subset of a real numbers?
The real numbers, themselves. Every set is a subset of itself.
Which of these sets of numbers is not a subset of the real numbers irrational integer rational and imaginary?
Imaginary numbers are not a subset of the real numbers; imaginary means not real.
What are the hierarchy of real numbers?
Starting at the top, we have the real numbers. The rational numbers is a subset of the reals. So are the irrational numbers. Now some rationals are integers so that is a subset of the rationals. Then a subset of the integers is the whole numbers. The natural numbers is a subset of those.
What is example of subset in math?
The set of Rational Numbers is a [proper] subset of Real Numbers.
