Is there a number less than 1?
There are an infinite set of non-negative numbers less than 1. Zero is one such number. 1/2 is another which is a rational number. 1/pi is a third, which is irrational.
What is the largest real number?
The biggest number referred to regularly is a googolplex (10googol), which works out as 1010^100. To show how ridiculous that number is, mathematician Wolfgang H Nitsche started releasing editions of a book trying to write it down.
What’s the smallest number?
1. the smallest natural number it would be 1. 2. the smallest whole number is 0.
What is the smallest irrational number?
The smallest irrational number is – root2 since 3+ root2 +(-root2)= 3+root2-root2=3( a rational number). regards .
What is the largest number less than 1?
Among the real numbers (or the rational numbers, or the irrational numbers) there is no largest number less than 1. Among the integers, 0 is the largest number less than 1. Nov 26, 2003 #7
Is there a smallest real number greater than zero?
No, there is not “a smallest real number greater than zero” nor “a greatest real number smaller than zero”. Let’s say you think you have found the least real number greater than 0, and we will call it s.
How do you find the smallest positive real number?
Proof: Let x > 0. Then since 0 < 1 2 < 1, we have x > 1 2 x > 0, and so 1 2 x is such a number. There is no smallest positive real number. Proof: Assume for sake of contradiction that x is the smallest such. Then by 1 there is a smaller such number, contradicting minimality.
How many statements are true for any two real numbers?
A more formal way of saying this is: For any two real numbers a and b, one and only one of the following three statements is true: 1. a is less than b, (expressed as a < b) 2. a is equal to b, (expressed as a = b)
