The set of number that best describe each situation is shown below:


\begin{gathered} \text{Whole numbers: These are natural counting positve numbers. e.g 1,2,3,4,5,etc} \\ \text{Integers: These are whole numbers that are positive, negative and zero. e.g 0,1,-1,2,-2,etc} \\ Rational\text{ numbers: These are numbers that can be expressed in the form of }(a)/(b),\text{ where b}\\e0,1.\text{ e.g 1/2, 3/5 etc} \\ \text{Irrational numbers: These are numbers that can be expressed in the form of }\sqrt[]{p}\text{ wh}ere\text{ p is prime. e.g }\sqrt[]{2,}\text{ }\sqrt[]{3}\text{ etc} \end{gathered}

Real numbers in general are majorly sub-divided into two(2) and they are Rational and Irrational numbers.
