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.

Is 87 a natural number?

Since a natural number is defined as a whole, non-negative number, 87 would indeed be a natural number.


Is -a a natural number?

No. Natural numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3 ... If a was defined to be a negative integer, then -a would equal a natural number. But -a is a variable with a sign, not a natural number.


Is 0.75 a natural number?

No, 0.75 is not a natural number. Natural numbers are defined as positive integers starting from 1 and do not include fractions or decimals. Since 0.75 is a decimal and less than 1, it does not qualify as a natural number.


Is the quotient of two natural numbers always a natural number?

No, the quotient of two natural numbers is not always a natural number. For example, if you divide 3 by 2, the result is 1.5, which is not a natural number. Natural numbers are typically defined as the set of positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), so dividing one natural number by another can yield a non-natural result, especially when the numerator is less than the denominator.


Is sequence a function?

yes it is a function because sequence defined as "a function whose domain is set of natural number"


Write the predecessor of 1 which is a natural number?

The predecessor of 1 is 0. If you define "natural numbers" as starting at 1, then 1 has no predecessor. (Natural numbers can be defined either to include, or to exclude, zero.)


Why is 0 not considered a prime number?

Because the property of primality is defined only for natural numbers which are greater than 1.


Are All rationals numbers are in the set of natural numbers?

1. No.The Natural numbers are the positive integers (sometimes the non-negative integers).Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (positive or negative). All Natural numbers are in the set of Rational numbers. 2. No. Natural numbers are usually defined as integers greater than zero. A Rational number is then defined simply as a number that can be expressed as an integer divided by a natural number. (This definition includes all rational numbers, but excludes division by zero.)


Is Negative 1 a natural number?

No, negative one is not a natural number. Natural numbers are defined as the set of positive integers starting from 1, which includes 1, 2, 3, and so on. Negative numbers, including negative one, fall outside this definition.


Is the product of any two natural numbers is a natural number?

Yes, the product of any two natural numbers is always a natural number. Natural numbers are defined as the set of positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), and when you multiply two positive integers, the result is also a positive integer. Therefore, the product remains within the set of natural numbers.


Defined real numbers?

Real numbers encompass any number along the number line, infinitely. Integers, whole numbers, natural numbers, etc. are are real numbers.


How is a whole number defined?

A whole number is a number that cannot be broken down into parts and is not continuous. It represents a single discrete object. Whole numbers include the positive integers or natural numbers and zero.
