Name a counting number that is not a whole number?
the answer is anything negative
Is negative five a counting number?
No, it is not. Counting numbers are positive whole numbers.
What is the least whole number?
There is no least whole number: the negative counting numbers go on for ever.
What is a whole number that is not a counting number?
The answer will depend on the exact definition of both "whole number" and "counting number" as both terms are potentially open to different interpretations. For example, a counting number could be defined as all the positive integers, e.g. 1,2,3,4 etc... A whole number could be defined as all the non negative integers, e.g. 0,1,2,3,4 etc.. In which case the answer would be 0. However, it could be argued that counting numbers include 0, making the above answer invalid. Equally it could be argued that whole numbers include the negative integers, in which case the answer would include any negative whole number.
Is a negative a whole numbers?
No. Whole numbers are counting numbers and zero.
What are the different of counting numbers and whole numbers?
A counting number is one you would use normally, as in 1,2,3,4,5... not including zero. A whole number includes zero, but is not a negative integer.

If we mutiply one integer by another integer that is a whole number but not a counting number What is the product?
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.
How does the set of counting numbers differ from the set of whole numbers?
The set of counting numbers is a proper subset of the whole number. The latter includes negative counting numbers. Also, there is no consensus as to whether 0 belongs to counting numbers or whole numbers.
Which set of numbers would answer how many dolphins in the ocean?
Counting Numbers, Whole Numbers. You can't use Integers as that includes Negative numbers and there isn't a negative number of dolphins.
What are integers and rational numbers?
An integer is a whole number: this is a counting number, zero or the negative of a counting number.A rational number is a number which can be expressed as a ratio of tow integers, the second of which is not zero.
Is every integer greater than -1 is a whole number?
Any number that is not a fraction, percent, decimal, or negative is a whole number. Counting numbers are whole numbers. Counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Zero is a whole number. So yes, every integer greater then negative one is a whole number, and so is -1 and every integer less than -1.
