positive integers
Counting numbers, positive integers, natural numbers.
Integers
No. 0 and negative integers are whole numbers but they are not counting numbers.
The counting numbers are {1, 2, 3, ...}. The integers are the counting numbers, their opposites (-1, -2, ...) and zero. So they are {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}.
It is a definitional thing. Counting numbers are whole numbers (integers) starting with 1.
Conventionally, counting numbers are positive integers: 1, 2, 3 , .... 0 and negative numbers are not considered counting numbers.
These are integers that are less than 0. Counting backwards, they are -1, -2, -3, -4 etc. They are the additive inverses of the positive integers.
Counting numbers are the positive integers: 1, 2, 3, and so on. Natural numbers are the counting numbers along with the number 0.
All integers more than 0, although 0 is sometimes included in the set.
The product is an integer that may or may not be a counting number.All integers are whole numbers.The counting numbers are {1, 2, 3, ...}The integers are the counting numbers along with 0 and the negative counting numbers, ie {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}The product of two of these is an integer that will be:a negative counting number {..., -3, -2, -1} - the first integer is a counting number, the second is a negative counting numberzero {0} - either, or both, number is zeroa counting number {1, 2, 3, ...} both integers are negative counting numbers.
Counting numbers are 1,2,3.... If you include 0 and the opposites .... -3,-2,-1, 0,1,2,3 .... this creates the integers. Integers do not include decimals or fractions.
