Whole numbers are simply the numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... and so on. Actually whole numbers are natural numbers and zero.

Integers are natural numbers, zero and negative numbers: ...,-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

Rational numbers that can be made by dividing two integers. For example,
-(1)/(5),\ (10)/(2),\ (100)/(3), \dots

You can see that each whole number is integer number and each integer is a rational number, then


\text{Whole numbers}\subseteq \text{Integers}\subseteq \text{Rational numbers}
