Least Upper Bound Property

Theorem
Let $S \subset \R$ be a non-empty subset of the set of real numbers such that $S$ is bounded above.

Then $S$ admits a supremum in $\R$.

This is known as the least upper bound property of the real numbers.

Corollary
The two properties taken together are called the continuum property of $\R$.

This can also be stated as:
 * The set $\R$ of real numbers is Dedekind complete.

Also known as
The continuum property of $\R$ is also known as the completeness axiom, completeness postulate or supremum principle.
