1. Numbers
N = {1,2,3,4,5……….}
It is the counting numbers
2. Whole number
W= {0,1,2,3,4,5……..}
It is the counting numbers + zero
3. Integers
Z={…-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6…}
4. Positive integers
Z+= {1,2,3,4,5……..}
5. Negative integers
Z-={…-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}
6. Rational Number: A number is called rational if it can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers (q> 0).
Example: ½, 4/3 ,5/7 ,1 etc.
1. Additive Identity/Role of Zero
Zero is called the identity for the addition of rational numbers. It is the additive identity for integers and whole numbers as well
a + 0 = a
2. Multiplicative identity/Role of one
1 is the multiplicative identity for rational numbers. It is the multiplicative identity for integers and whole numbers as well
a × 1 = a
