Definition of Real Numbers
The real numbers refers to the set of numbers that we use in our day to day lives, without really thinking about them.
It includes the positive and negative numbers, all the fractions, all the whole numbers, and all the decimal numbers (terminating, repeating and non-repeating).
Real numbers can be rational or irrational numbers.
Some examples of real numbers are \(2\), \(376.67\), \(-27.523\), \(\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(\pi\).
