The set of counting numbers is the positive integers. The set of whole numbers is the positive integers plus zero. The term "natural numbers" has been used interchangeably with both of those sets.

That can refer either to integers, or only to non-negative integers - basically, the counting numbers. (Integers includes negative numbers.) Since "whole numbers" has this ambiguity, it's best to avoid this term. The following is the answer.

What numbers are whole numbers? Whole numbers are numbers with no value after the decimal point. For example: 1 is a whole number. 1.2 is not a whole number. yes and 1.22 is not one and 1.22222222 is not one is only 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, continue but i dont know if a negetive number counts as a whole number or zero if it counts as a whole number
