Let's start with our natural numbers.
00:04
So natural numbers are our counting numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, and it doesn't include 0, and it doesn't include fractions.
00:11
So in our set, the only natural number is 1, because it does include 0, and the rest are fractions.
00:19
Now if we look at integers, integers are counting numbers and their negatives, and also include 0, but still does not include fractions.
00:28
So integers are negative 1, negative 2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
00:35
So we can add 0, and we have 1.
00:38
But we cannot include the fractions because they are not part of the set of integers.
00:44
Rational numbers are any numbers that can be written in the form of a over b, which creates a decimal that either terminates like 1 4th, which becomes 0 .25, it stops, or it repeats a set of numbers, like one -third, which repeats 0 .333333, et cetera...
