To identify the most specific set that each number belongs to, we will categorize them based on their mathematical properties. Here’s the classification for each number:

  1. 6.263: This is a decimal number that does not repeat or terminate, making it a rational number. However, since it's a decimal, it can be categorized specifically as a real number.

  2. 4.56666....: This is a decimal with a repeating component (the '6' repeats). Therefore, it is a rational number and also falls under real numbers.

  3. −25: This is an integer (also a rational number), and it is also a real number.

  4. 0: This is a whole number, an integer (also rational and real).

  5. 36−−√: The square root of 36 equals 6, which is an integer and belongs to the set of rational numbers and real numbers.

  6. 9/11: This is a fraction that can be expressed as a decimal. It is a rational number and also falls under real numbers.

  7. 42−−√: The square root of 42 is an irrational number (approximately 6.48). Thus, it belongs to the set of irrational numbers and also real numbers.

To summarize:

  • 6.263: Real Number
  • 4.56666....: Rational Number
  • −25: Integer
  • 0: Integer
  • 36−−√: Integer
  • 9/11: Rational Number
  • 42−−√: Irrational Number

You would input them into the respective slots for their specific classifications.
