Answer: Rational, integer, whole, natural, real

So basically everything but irrational

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

109 is a rational number because 109 = 109/1. Any rational number is a fraction of two integers. Because of this, it cannot be irrational as "irrational" means "not rational".

An integer is anything that does not have a fractional or decimal part. So it involves the set of positive and negative whole numbers, and zero as well. So we can see that 109 is an integer.

A whole number is very similar to an integer, but we're referring to the set {0, 1, 2, 3, ..} meaning we ignore the negative integers. This makes 109 a whole number as well.

A natural number is from the set {1, 2, 3, ...}. We've kicked 0 out from the set of whole numbers. This is the set of counting numbers. So 109 is also a natural number.

A real number is any number you have encountered so far assuming your teacher has not introduced complex and imaginary numbers yet. Effectively a real number is any number that can be written as decimal. This makes 109 to be a real number.
