The number 4.56666... is a rational number.
Here's a breakdown of the classifications:
- **Rational Number**: A number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (e.g., a/b where b ≠ 0). Since 4.56666... can be expressed as a fraction (specifically as \( \frac{45667}{10000} \) if you approximate the repeating decimals, for example), it is rational.
- **Irrational Number**: This type cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Since 4.56666... can be represented as a fraction, it is not irrational.
- **Natural Number**: Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...). Since 4.56666... is not a whole number, it is not a natural number.
- **Integer**: Integers include whole numbers and their negatives (0, -1, -2, ...). Since 4.56666... is not a whole number, it is not an integer.
- **Whole Number**: Whole numbers include all non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, ...). Since 4.56666... is not a whole number, it is not a whole number either.
In summary, the number 4.56666... is classified as a rational number.
