Every position on a number line can be named by a real number in some form. An important property of real numbers is the Density Property. It says that between any two real numbers, there is always another real number. Rational Numbers: Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. An integer can be written as a fraction simply by giving it a denominator of one, so any integer is a rational number.
Irrational numbers are numbers that can be written as decimals but not as fractions. An irrational number is any real number that is not rational. By real number we mean, loosely, a number that we can conceive of in this world, one with no square roots of negative numbers (such a number is called complex. ).
