Hi. You would be better off having someone explain WHY rather than just giving you an answer. These will be common sense, not mathematical, explanations, so I may be corrected. A natural number is one that can actually occur. A whole number is one without a decimal fraction. Same with an integer. Rational numbers can be mathematically derived, Irrational numbers cannot. (The square root of -1 is irrational because there is no number which when squared equals a negative number.) Real numbers...well I forget. Anyone want to correct these explanations?
