The number zero is a natural number and so, by the uniqueness of numbers, it is the only one that meets the requirements.
The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers. Integers are the natural numbers plus zero plus the negative ( or opposite ) natural numbers. Why do we need negative natural numbers ? For one thing x + 1 = 0 is an equation whose solution is x = -1. We could not solve this equation if we did not have negative integers. So over history these negative numbers came about as a way to solve certain math problems. The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers.

Integers are whole numbers, be they negative, positive, or zero.
The opposite of negative is positive. In mathematics, the term "negative" refers to numbers less than zero, while "positive" refers to numbers greater than zero. These terms are used to describe the direction or sign of a number on the number line.
even, whole, non-negative numbers. (zero is not a natural number)
On a number line, zero is positioned at the center, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left. The concept of an opposite number means that when you add a number and its opposite, the result is zero. Since zero is neither positive nor negative, its opposite is itself; thus, adding zero to zero results in zero. This visually illustrates that zero is its own opposite on the number line.
Natural numbers are:counting numbersnon-negative, non-zero integers; positive integersnon-zero whole numbers; positive whole numbers
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.
Integer: Negative numbers, zero, positive numbers. NO fractions/decimals Natural: Positive numbers. NO zero, negative numbers, fractions/decimals. Whole number: Positive numbers, zero. NO negative numbers, fractions/decimals. Therefore, a natural, rational, whole integer, would be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...
The set of integers, Z.
The extended set of natural numbers, or the non-negative integers.
No. "Natural numbers" only refers to integers greater or equal to zero, that is, non-negative integers.
is zero an integerYes. The integers include all of the positive and negative whole numbers and zero.Whole numbers, natural numbers, counting numbers are all types of integers.
