Which list shows an accurate hierarchy of number sets within the real number system from largest to smallest

Answer 1

The hierarchy of number sets within the real number system from largest to smallest is as follows:

1. Complex Numbers (including both real and imaginary parts)
2. Real Numbers (including all rational and irrational numbers)
   • Rational Numbers (including integers and fractions)
     • Integers (positive, negative whole numbers, and zero)
       • Whole Numbers (non-negative integers, including zero)
         • Natural Numbers (positive integers, starting from 1)

So, if we only focus on the real number system itself, the hierarchy is:

Real Numbers > Rational Numbers > Integers > Whole Numbers > Natural Numbers

If you include complex numbers, the hierarchy starts with complex numbers at the top.
