A number is a symbol used in counting or
measuring. In mathematics, there are various
kinds of numbers. The everyday number system
is the decimal (`proceeding by tens') system,
using the base ten. Real numbers include all
rational numbers (integers, or whole numbers,
and fractions), and irrational numbers (those
not expressible as fractions).
