Real number

A real number is a number that falls on the real number line. It can have any value. Some examples of real numbers are: $1, 2, -23.25, 0, \frac{\pi}{\phi}$ , and so on. Numbers that are not real are $\ 3i$ , $\ 3+2.5i$ , $\ 3+2i+2j+k$ , i.e. complex numbers, and quaternions.

The set of real numbers is denoted by $\mathbb{R}$ . Commonly used subsets of the real numbers are irrational numbers ( $\mathbb{J}$ ), rational numbers ( $\mathbb{Q}$ ), integers ( $\displaystyle\mathbb{Z}$ ), and natural numbers ( $\mathbb{N}$ ).
