To solve the problem, we need to classify each number into the appropriate sets: Natural Numbers, Whole Numbers, Integers, Rational Numbers, Irrational Numbers, and Real Numbers. Let's go through each number step by step.

Definitions:

1. Natural Numbers (ℕ): Positive integers starting from 1 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...).
2. Whole Numbers: Non-negative integers starting from 0 (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
3. Integers (ℤ): All whole numbers and their negatives (e.g., ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
4. Rational Numbers (ℚ): Numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \). This includes all integers, fractions, and terminating or repeating decimals.
5. Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. They are non-terminating, non-repeating decimals (e.g., \( \sqrt{2}, \pi \)).
6. Real Numbers (ℝ): All rational and irrational numbers combined.
