CONTENT

No. Types of Numbers Definition Example


1 Natural Numbers Another name for counting numbers, N = {1, 2, 3, ……}
beginning from 1.
2 Whole Numbers The set of natural numbers and zero. W= {0, 1, 2, 3, ……..}
3 Integers The set of positive and negative natural Z = {…-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,…}
numbers and zero
4 Rational Numbers The set of numbers that can be written 2 1 3 8 10
− ,− , , ,
3 2 5 9 1
as a fraction. It also contains the set of
integers.
5 Irrational Numbers The set of numbers that cannot be − 3, √7
written as a fraction.
6 Real Numbers The set of rational and irrational R = {− , √7}
numbers.

7 Prime Numbers Numbers which can be divided exactly {2, 3, 17,31}
only by itself and 1.
8 Composite Numbers A number which has other factors other {4, 12, 21, 27}
than itself and 1.
9 Odd Numbers The set of natural numbers that cannot {1, 7, 25, 29}
be exactly divided by 2.
10 Even Numbers The set of natural numbers that can be {2, 8, 26, 30}
exactly divided by 2.

A sequence of numbers is a set of numbers separated by commas, that follows a mathematical


rule. Each number in the sequence is called a term.
Example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9…….. Here the mathematical rule is n + 2

The number line displays the infinite value of both positive and negative numbers (Integers). The
left of the number line represents the least value, while the right represents the highest value.
The number line also helps when adding and subtracting directed numbers.

NB:
 1 is not a prime number;
 2 is the only even prime number
