In this case, -62 can be written as a fraction: \u2212621-\\frac{62}{1}\u2212162\u200b. Since it is expressible as a ratio of two integers, it is a rational number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real numbers<\/strong>: Real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers. Since -62 is a rational number, it is also a real number. Real numbers consist of all the numbers that can represent a quantity along the number line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integers<\/strong>: Integers are whole numbers and their negatives, including zero. Since -62 is a whole number that is negative, it is an integer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sets it does <em>not<\/em> belong to:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Whole numbers<\/strong>: Whole numbers are all the non-negative integers: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Since -62 is negative, it is not a whole number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Irrational numbers<\/strong>: Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include 2\\sqrt{2}2\u200b, \u03c0\\pi\u03c0, and e. Since -62 is a rational number, it is not irrational.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural numbers<\/strong>: Natural numbers are the set of positive integers: 1, 2, 3, and so on. Since -62 is negative, it is not a natural number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, -62 belongs to the sets of rational numbers, real numbers, and integers, but not to whole numbers, irrational numbers, or natural numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-412.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-254809\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indicate the set (s) to which the following number belongs. -62 Select all that apply.
