One of the rather sophisticated concepts of group theory is that of a locally compact topological group that evolved widely and deeply. The authors of the paper pose and answer completely the question under which circumstances locally compact groups can be approximated by subgroups isomorphic to \(\mathbb Z\) or \(\mathbb R\). The following are the main results of the paper. A locally compact group \(G\) is integrally approximable if and only if it is either discrete, in which case it is isomorphic to a subgroup of \(\mathbb Q\), or else it is Abelian and of the form \(G\cong\mathbb R\times\text{comp}(G)\), where \(G/G_0\cong\text{comp}(G)/\text{comp}(G)_0\) is periodic inductively monothetic. A locally compact group \(G\) is numerally approximable if and only if it is of the form \(G\cong\mathbb R\times C\) with a compact connected Abelian group \(C\).
