Examples of integers:

12, comma, 0, comma, minus, 9, comma, minus, 810

Rational numbers

start color #7854ab, start text, R, a, t, i, o, n, a, l, space, n, u, m, b, e, r, s, end text, end color #7854ab are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Examples of rational numbers:

44, comma, 0, point, start overline, 12, end overline, comma, minus, start fraction, 18, divided by, 5, end fraction, comma, square root of, 36, end square root

Irrational numbers

start color #ca337c, start text, I, r, r, a, t, i, o, n, a, l, space, n, u, m, b, e, r, s, end text, end color #ca337c are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Examples of irrational numbers:

minus, 4, pi, comma, square root of, 3, end square root
