Numbers
Numbers are our way to quantify, label, and organize the world around us in a logical manner. However, the systems used to obtain this goal differ geographically, historically, and by relative utility. All questions pertaining to numbers, including historic labeling systems, bases of numerical systems, constants, and the various ways they're grouped together, should be placed into this category.

Are irrational numbers negative?
Not necessarily. Negatives can be rational or irrational - each one is the same as its positive counterpart.
An example of positive campaigning:
You should vote for me because I know how to fix our economic problems,

scoundrel Jew who was not even born in this country, is currently fighting
drug and alcohol addictions, has never held an honest job in his life, and
spends most of his time surfing the web.
What is the prime factorization number for 12?
The prime factorization for the number 12 is: 2 x 2 x 3
Why was binary number system formed?
Electronic and optical data storage and processing equipment can easily identify dichotomic behaviour: a choice of two positions: for example, on or off, pit or no pit, magnetised or not magnetised. It is much easier for a machine to unambiguously decide whether a particular memory location is magnetised or not magnetised rather than work out which of 10 levels of voltage it is at. The second option is much more likely to lead to errors. For that reason the binary system is well suited for electronic and optical data storage and processing.
What are the substets of real numbers?
I believe it's accurate to say that there are an infinite number of subsets
of real numbers. Not only that, there could be an infinite number of subsets
that have an infinite number of members.
A few of them would be:
- the odd numbers
- the even numbers
- the even numbers between 10 and 20
- the even numbers between 10 and 22
- the even numbers between 10 and 24
- the even numbers between 10 and 26
- the integers greater than 137
- the numbers between 4.0 and 4.1 that have more than 2 decimal places
- the prime numbers greater than 68,597
- the integers containing at least one '6'
- the powers of '2'.

It is spelled as two million five hundred and fifty thousands and six hundreds and ten
They are members of the infinite set of numbers of the form 23*k where k is an integer. Since the set is infinite, it is not possible to list them.
Does the number 3 go into the number 125?
Not evenly. It can go in 41 times, but after that there's only room
for 2 more, so there is no way to cram the whole 3 in there again.
no, even numbers can be divided by two to leave two equal numbers
No, it is an even number.
Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
It is a prime number because it only has two factors which are itself and one.
Do zebras have an even number of hooves?
(1 zebra) x (4 legs/zebra) x (1 hoof/leg) = 4 hooves.
4/2 = 2 with no remainder, so 4 is an even number.
The answer to the question is: Yes, mathematically as well as demonstrably.
Proper fraction: 40 x ¾
Improper fraction: 20 x 1½
Is a number that is raised to a negative number negative?
No. A negative power simply indicates a reciprocal of the positive power.
So 3-4 = 1/34 = 1/81
while
(-2)-5 = 1/(-2)5 = 1/(-32) = -1/32
