whole numbers are the numbers that start from 0 (0,1,2,3,4.......) and natural numbers are the numbers that start from 1 (1,2,3,4,5......)
whole numbers include numbers from 0 to infinity whereas natural numbers are the numbers from 1 to infinity
Negative integers are whole numbers but not natural numbers. Mathematicians are undecided about zero. It is a whole number: some believe zero is a natural number, others do not.
Integers are all positive and negative whole numbers, and natural numbers are all positve whole numbers including zero. So, natural numbers is a subset of integers.
An integer is any whole number
Since whole numbers are the same as integers, there are no different rules! The only way in which the rules for natural numbers is different is that the set does not contain the additional opposites of numbers (in other words, the set is not closed under subtraction).
All except zero.Yes, except for 0 itself
No. Negative integers are whole numbers but not natural.
No. Negative whole numbers are not natural numbers.
Yes, all natural numbers are whole numbers.
No. -3 is a whole number but it is not a natural number.
Yes, the set of whole number is all of the natural numbers, plus zero.
Whole numbers are usually defined as the number 0,1,2,3,4,5,6.... where "...." means it goes on forever. These are the natural numbers with the number 0 added to them. So the natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6...The integers are all the whole number and all the negatives of the natural numbers....-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4...So every whole number is an integer.Every natural number is an integer.Every integer is NOT a whole number. ( look at -2)Every integer is NOT a natural number. ( look at -3)The set of integers contains the set of natural numbers and contains the set of whole numbers.The set of whole numbers contains the set of natural numbers.
they are almost all equivalent - whole numbers also have the number 0, which natural numbers (counting numbers) do not.
Whole numbers are integers. Integers are whole numbers.
56 is a rational whole natural number. Or to put it another way: 56 is a Natural number, but as all natural numbers are also whole numbers 56 is also a whole number, but as all whole numbers are also rational numbers 56 is also a rational number. Natural numbers are a [proper] subset of whole numbers; Whole numbers are a [proper] subset of rational numbers. The set of rational numbers along with the set of irrational numbers make up the set of real numbers
false, the set of natural numbers does not include 0, which can be considered a whole number.
