For a number to be prime it must only have factors of one and itself.
10 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10.
15 has factors 1, 3, 5, 15.
18 has factors 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
The only factors of 13 are 1 and 13. As such it is prime.

Natural numbers are simply whole, non-negative numbers.
Using this definition, we see only one set of numbers within our answer choices containing only whole, non-negative numbers. Any set containing decimals or negative numbers, will violate our defintion of natural numbers and thus be an incorrect answer.

Irrational numbers are defined by the fact that they cannot be written as a fraction which means that the decimals continue forever.
Looking at our possible answer choices we see,

which is an imaginary number but still rational.
Therefore since,

we can conclude it is irrational.

Step 1: Define the different sets:
Rational: Any number that can be expressed as a fraction (improper/proper form) (example:
)
Irrational: Any number whose decimal expansion cannot be written as a fraction. (example:
)
Real numbers: The combination of all numbers that belong in the Rational and the Irrational set. (Example:
)
Integers: All whole numbers from
. (Example:
)
Natural Numbers (AKA Counting numbers): All numbers greater than or equal to 1, 
Step 2: Let's categorize the numbers given in the question to these sets above:
belongs to the set of rational numbers, natural numbers, and integers.
belongs to the set of rational numbers and integers.

Step 3: Analyze each number closely and pull out any sets where all three numbers belong..
All three numbers belong to the set of rational numbers.
In math, we symbolize rational numbers as
.
So, all three numbers belong to the sets
