List of numbers

This is a list of numbers. This list will always be not finished. This happens because there are an infinite amount of numbers. Only notable numbers will be added. Numbers can be added as long as they are popular in math, history or culture.
This means that numbers can only be notable if they are a big part of history. A number isn't notable if it is only related to another number. For example, the number (3,4) is a notable number when it is a complex number (3+4i). When it is only (3,4), however, it's not notable.
Natural numbers
Natural numbers are a type of integer. They can be used for counting. Natural numbers can also be used to find out about other number systems. A negative number is not a natural number.
0 is argued on whether or not it is a natural number. To fix this, people use the terms "non-negative integers", which cover 0 and "positive integers", which does not.
Classes of natural numbers
Prime numbers
A prime number is a type of natural number. It only has two divisors: 1 and itself.
Highly composite numbers
A highly composite number is a type of natural number. It has more divisors than any smaller natural number. They are used a lot in geometry, grouping, and time measurement.
The first 20 highly composite numbers are:
1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 720, 840, 1260, 1680, 2520, 5040, 7560
Perfect numbers
A perfect number is a type of integer. It has the sum of its positive divisors (all divisors except itself).
The first 10 perfect numbers:
Integers
Integers are a set of numbers. They usually are in arithmetic and number theory. There are many subsets of integers. These can cover natural numbers, prime numbers, perfect numbers, etc.
Popular integers are -1 and 0.
Orders of magnitude
Integers can be written in orders of magnitude. This can be written as 10k, where k is an integer. If k = 0, 1, 2, 3, then the powers of ten for them are 1, 10, 100 and 1000. This is used in scientific notation.
Each number has its own prefix. Each prefix has its own symbol. For example, kilo- may be added to the beginning of gram. This changes the meaning of gram to mean that the gram is 1000 times more than a gram: one kilogram is the same as 1000 grams.
Rational numbers
A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction with two integers. The numerator is written as . The denominator(which cannot be zero) is written as . Every integer is a rational number. This is because, in integers, 1 is always the denominator of a fraction.
Rational numbers can be written in infinitely many ways. For example, 0.12 can be written as three twenty-fifths (), nine seventy-fifths (), etc.
Irrational numbers
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be written as a fraction. These are written as algebraic numbers or transcendental numbers.
Algebraic numbers
Transcendental numbers
Real numbers
The real numbers are a superset(or category) of numbers. They cover algebraic and transcendental numbers.
Real but not known if irrational or transcendental
Hypercomplex numbers
A hypercomplex number is a word for an element of a unital algebra over the field of real numbers.
Algebraic complex numbers
i, Imaginary unit:
Transfinite numbers
Transfinite numbers are numbers that are "infinite". They are larger than any finite number. They are, however, not absolutely infinite.
Physical Constants
Physical constants are constants that can be used in the universe to figure out information.
Avogadro constant
Gravitational constant
Planck constant
Rydberg constant
Speed of light in vacuum
