Nonempty sets of integers bounded above by a real number have a greatest element, every real number lies in exactly one interval from an integer n to n+1, and the Archimedean property gives multiples of any positive number above any real number, 1/n between 0 and any positive number, and natural numbers eventually above any real number.
In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness:
If is a nonempty subset of and there is with for every , then has a greatest element.
For every and positive there is with .
For every positive there is with .
