Let\u2019s analyze where the number <strong>3<\/strong> fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Natural Numbers<\/strong>: These are the counting numbers starting from 1 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, &#8230;). Since 3 is used for counting and is greater than zero, it is a <strong>natural number<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whole Numbers<\/strong>: These include all natural numbers <strong>plus zero<\/strong>. Therefore, the set is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, &#8230;}. Since 3 is included in this set, it is a <strong>whole number<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integers<\/strong>: This set expands to include <strong>negative whole numbers<\/strong>, zero, and positive whole numbers (e.g., &#8230;, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, &#8230;). Since 3 is within this set, it is an <strong>integer<\/strong> as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rational Numbers<\/strong>: These are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (e.g., 3 = 3\/1). So, 3 is a <strong>rational number<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Irrational Numbers<\/strong>: These cannot be written as fractions (e.g., \u221a2, \u03c0). 3 is <strong>not<\/strong> irrational.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real Numbers<\/strong>: This is the complete set that includes both rational and irrational numbers, so 3 is certainly a <strong>real number<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Among these, the <strong>smallest, most specific<\/strong> subset that includes <strong>3<\/strong> is the set of <strong>whole numbers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the correct subset of the real numbers to which <strong>3<\/strong> belongs is:<br>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Whole Numbers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-554.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-227960\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 -4 + 7 = 3 3 + (-4) = -7 4 + 3 = 7 3 + (-7) = -4 To which subset of real numbers does the following number belong?
