Rational Numbers Integers These types of numbers can ONLY be non-negative Whole Numbers These types of numbers can ONLY be positive Natural Numbers Real Numbers Venn Diagram The Subsets of Real Numbers can be represented in a Venn Diagram. In a Venn Diagram, a number can only be listed ONE time in the most appropriate (smallest) category.Label each section of the Venn Diagram with the following labels.
