What is the order from largest to smallest for whole number integers rational numbers natural number irrational numbers and real numbers?
Such numbers cannot be ordered in the manner suggested by the question because: For every whole number there are integers, rational numbers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every integer there are whole numbers, rational numbers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every rational number there are whole numbers, integers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every natural number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every irrational number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, natural numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every real number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, natural numbers and irrational numbers that are bigger. Each of these kinds of numbers form an infinite sets but the size of the sets is not the same. Georg Cantor showed that the cardinality of whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and natural number is the same order of infinity: aleph-null. The cardinality of irrational numbers and real number is a bigger order of infinity: aleph-one.
Are natural numbers real numbers?
Yes, all natural numbers are real numbers. Natural numbers are a subset of real numbers, so not all real numbers are natural numbers.
Can a number be a natural number and a real number?
All natural numbers are also real numbers, but all real numbers are not necessarily natural numbers because natural numbers are positive whole numbers. Real numbers are any number on the number line, which includes irrational numbers like pi and sqrt2. Thus only the positive natural numbers are both natural and real. Hope this is not too long-winded!
What are all the natural numbers?
All the positive real numbers are natural numbers.
What is a natural number that is not real?
The set of Natural Numbers is the set of 'counting numbers' {1,2,3,4,....}. All of them are also real numbers.
