Partitioning is dividing a set of things into subsets such that the union of all the subsets is the original set and the intersection of any two subsets is the null set. That is, between them, the subsets account for the whole of the original set and there are no elements in more than one subset.
If a set has N elements then it has 2N subsets. So you can see that a list of all subsets soon becomes a very big task. For reasonably small values of N, one way to generate all subsets is to list the binary numbers from 0 to 2N. Then, each of these represents a subset of the original set. If the nth digit is 0 then the nth element is not in the set and if the nth digit is 1 then the nth element is in the set. That will generate all the subsets.
Yes all sets have subsets.Even the null set.
The subsets of all the square roots of 144 are {+12} and {-12}. The single set that includes all the square roots of 144 is {+12, -12}. That's all there are. There are no more.
thenumber of subsets = 8formula: number of subsets =2n; wheren is thenumber of elements in the set= 2n= 23= 8The subsets of 1,2,3 are:{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {2,3}, {1,3}, {1,2,3}
A set with 27 members has 2^27 = 134217728 subsets - including itself and the null set.
It is impossible. If a set has n elements, the cardinality of its power set [the number of its subsets] is 2n which must be even.
There are infiitelt many subsets of irrational numbers. One possible subset is the set of all positive irrational numbers.
It is the set of all the things you are dealing with or considering. For example, if I am looking at subsets that are even integers and I am looking at all integers, then the set of all integers is the universal set. If we are looking at hair color, some subsets are redheads, blondes etc. The universal sets is the set of all possible hair colors.
Integers, rationals. Also all subsets of these sets eg all even numbers, all integers divided by 3.
They are collections of some, or all, of the elements of the set. A set with n elements will have 2^n subsets.
meaning of proper subsets

One possible set, out of infinitely many, is positive irrational numbers.
In a subset each element of the original may or may not appear - a choice of 2 for each element; thus for 3 elements there are 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8 possible subsets.
An element doesn't have subsets. Sets can have subsets.
