The number zero belongs to the following subsets of real numbers:
- Integers
- Whole numbers
- Natural numbers
To determine which subset(s) of real numbers zero belongs to, we can analyze the given options:
1. Irrational numbers: These numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction and have an infinite number of non-repeating decimal places. Zero is not an irrational number since it can be expressed as 0/1, making it a fraction. Therefore, zero does not belong to the subset of irrational numbers.
2. Integers: Integers are all positive and negative whole numbers, including zero. Therefore, zero does belong to the subset of integers.
3. Whole numbers: Whole numbers are all positive numbers without any decimals or fractions, including zero. Therefore, zero does belong to the subset of whole numbers.
4. Natural numbers: Natural numbers are all positive integers starting from 1, excluding zero. Therefore, zero does not belong to the subset of natural numbers.
In summary, zero belongs to the subsets of integers and whole numbers.
