whole numbers are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. and natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. so the only difference is that in natural numbers there is no 0
is a natural number a whole number
No. All natural numbers are whole numbers.
They both exclude fractions and irrational numbers. Natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers (also called integers); Natural numbers are any positive whole number (meaning any whole number 1 or greater). Whole numbers, also called integers, can be zero or negative.
No. -3 is a whole number but it is not a natural number.
There are no natural numbers which are not also whole numbers.
No. Negative whole numbers are not natural numbers.
Yes, all natural numbers are whole numbers.
There is some disagreement as to whether zero, a whole number, is a natural number.
Zero is a member of the set of whole numbers. Some people include it in the set of natural numbers, some people don't.
A negative integer is a whole number but not a natural number.
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
Every whole number is rational and an integer. But the "natural" numbers are definedas the counting numbers, so the negative whole numbers wouldn't qualify.No and yes: it is not a natural number but it is a rational number.
