Number theory is the field of mathematics associated with studying the properties of real numbers.

Overview
Number theory is a broad topic, and may cover many diverse subtopics, such as:
Some branches of number theory may only deal with a certain subset of the real numbers, such as integers, positive numbers, natural numbers, rational numbers, etc. Some algebraic topics such as Diophantine equations are occasionally considered number theory.
