Real Numbers

Real numbers are the set of any number you can think of.

Real numbers

Real numbers include:
- Integers (whole numbers) like 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Rational numbers like $\large \frac{1}{2}$ , 0.75, 1.2, etc.
- Irrational numbers like π, $\sqrt{3}$ , $\sqrt{17}$ , etc.

What is an unreal number?

Numbers that are not real numbers are called imaginary numbers.
Imaginary numbers are a made up idea that mathematicians use when they're doing really complex maths.
- E.g. $\sqrt{-1}$ and $\Large \infty$ are examples of imaginary numbers.

Real numbers and number lines

All the numbers you can point to on a number line are real numbers.
Real numbers are used to show the value of something in the real world.
