  1. natural numbers are just the numbers you count when counting anything.  1.2.3.4.5.6.7.etc

    Integers are any whole number positive or negative.  no fractions or decimals.


  2. Integers are all negative and positive numbers without being a decimal or fraction. i.e. -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

    And natural numbers is very easy, they are all numbers starting from 1. i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... etc.

  3. Natural numbers are all "whole" numbers without fractional parts which are not negative. They sometimes include 0 but more often do not:

    1, 2, 3, ...

    or sometimes:

    0, 1, 2, 3, ...

    Integers (the natural numbers, zero, and the negatives of the natural numbers):

    ... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

    ----

    Rational numbers would be numbers that you can represent with a ratio (a fraction), such as decimal numbers and repeating decimal values:

    1/2 = 0.5

    1/3 = 0.333333...

    ----

    Irrational numbers cannot be represented with a ratio. They do not repeat or end. Examples:

    π ≈ 3.1415926535897932384626433832795

    e ≈ 2.7182818284590452353602874713527

    ----

    The integers includes all natural numbers.

    The rational numbers includes all integers.

    The irrational numbers are separate from all rational numbers.
