Before we consider the given number, let's recall the different number sets.
Rational Number: A number is a rational number if it can be written in the form ab, where a and b are both integers and b≠ 0.
Integer: A number is an integer if it is a positive or negative counting number (or zero). All integers are also rational numbers because any number can be written as a division by one, a1.
Whole Number: A number is a whole number if it is a non-negative counting number. All whole numbers are also integers and rational numbers.
Natural Number: A number is a natural number if it is a positive counting number. All natural numbers are also whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
Irrational Number: An irrational number is a number that cannot be written in the form of a rational number. These are recognized as being non-repeating, infinite decimals.
Real number: A number is a real number if it is either rational or irrational.
Now, let's try to categorize the given number using these definitions.
62
This is a positive counting number. This means that it is a natural number as well as a whole number, integer, rational number, and real number.
