Answer: 0 is a rational, whole, integer and real number.

Step-by-step explanation:

0 is a rational, whole, integer and real number. Some definitions include it as a natural number and some don't (starting at 1 instead).

What is the best way to classify 0?

Whole Number

Zero is whole number. Because zero is in the whole number set, it is also an integer, a rational number, and a real number.

example

So are -17 and 0. Whole numbers do not have fractions or decimals. All whole numbers are called integers.

As a whole number that can be written without a remainder, 0 classifies as an integer.
