Natural numbers are the positive integers used for counting and ordering discrete objects. They represent either a single unit or the sum of a collection of units. They cannot be broken down into parts since they are whole numbers and are not continuous. They also do not include zero. Subsets of natural numbers include the cardinal numbers used for counting and the ordinal numbers used for indicating position. The natural numbers are the direct result of the arithmetical operations of addition and multiplication.

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.
