In mathematics, a real number is a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line. The real numbers include all the rational numbers, such as the integer −5 and the fraction4/3, and all the irrational numbers such as 2 (1.…, the square root of two, an irrational algebraic number) and π (3.…, a transcendental number).
