Natural number.
Example :- ( 0,1,2,3,4,5,6....)
INTEGERS

opposites.
For Example :- ( ...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3... )
RATIONAL NUMBER
Rational numbers are any number that can be expressed in
form of ( P/Q ), Where “P” and “Q” are integers and “P” is not
= to “Q”
IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
SOLUTION
Example : Find the HCF of 126, 162, and 180
using the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
Solution: We will first find the prime factorization of 126, 162, and
180.Prime factors of 126 = 21 × 32 × 71Prime factors of 162 = 21 ×
34Prime factors of 180 = 22 × 32 × 51By using the fundamental
theorem of arithmetic, we know that the HCF is the product of the
smallest power of each common prime factor.Thus, HCF (126, 162,
180) = 21 × 32 = 18.Therefore, HCF (126, 162, 180) = 18.
