Answer 2

Solution: If a number is not an integer then it can be a rational, irrational and real and number.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many types numbers. The set of numbers are defined below.

Real Numbers: All numbers in the number system( fractional, roots, positive, negative, decimal, etc) are real numbers. For example
`√(2), (3)/(4) ,7.4, -2, 0` and 5 etc. Real numbers are categorized in two parts rational and irrational numbers.

1) Irrational numbers: The number which can't expressed in the form of
`(p)/(q)` are called irrational numbers. For example
`√(2) , √(3)` and
`-√(5)` etc.

2) Rational numbers: The number which can be expressed in the form of
`(p)/(q)` are called irrational numbers. For example
`(4)/(7) , 3.4` and -5.2 etc. It is categorized in two parts fractional and integer numbers.

(i) Fractional numbers: The numbers which are not a complete number and the number in decimals, fraction are called fractional numbers. For example -3.6,
`(7)/(2)` and 6.1 etc.

(ii)Integer numbers: The complete number which has no decimal value is called integer numbers. For example-8,-2, 0, 5,7 and 100 etc.

If a number is not integer, it means it can be in fraction form and in the form of root.

Therefore, If a number is not an integer then it can be a rational, irrational and real and number.
