The completeness of the real numbers is a fundamental property that distinguishes the real numbers \(\mathbb{R}\) from the rational numbers \(\mathbb{Q}\). Completeness refers to the idea that every non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound (also known as the supremum).
