∙ 13y agoDifference of two natural numbers is not always a natural number.
For any two natural numbers a and b, a-b = natural number only when a>b.
Otherwise the result is a integer.
No, e.g. 6 - 10 = -4. -4 is negative, so it is not a natural number.

If the difference of the squares of two consecutives natural numbers equal 15 what is the smaller natural number?
7. The answer is simply to round DOWN half the difference (or halve the difference minus one)
Is the difference of two natural numbers always a rational number?
No. Example: The difference of 2/5 & 1/3: 2/5 - 1/3 = 1/15 ∈ ℚ (is a rational number) ∉ ℕ (is not a natural number).
Is the difference of two natural numbers always an integer?
Yes.
Is the difference of two integers always a natural number?
Not necessarily. The difference between a = 7 & b = 7 is 0, and that is not a natural number.
What is the difference between natural infinite numbers and real infinite numbers?
A natural number is a counting number, such as 1, 2, 3. There are also known as whole numbers and integers. They can be infinitely large. A real number is a number, possibly a natural number, but more possibly not, because there are an infinite number of real numbers that lie between any two natural numbers, such as 1, 1.1, 1.11, 1.111, 111112, etc, ad infinitum. Real numbers can also be infinitely large.
Is negative square root of 6 a natural number?
No. For two reasons: 1) Negative numbers are not natural numbers 2) All natural numbers are rational numbers but the square root of 6 is an irrational number and thus cannot be a natural number.
What results if an even number is added to the difference of two odd numbers?
Difference of two odd numbers is an even number. Adding an even number changes nothing.
Is the number two thirds a natural number?
No, since 2 is not divisible by three in the natural numbers.
If the difference of two positive numbers is 1 the product of these same two number is also 1 What is the difference of the cubes of these two numbers?
The difference of their cubes is 4.
Is The difference of two real numbers always an irrational number?
No. 5 and 2 are real numbers. Their difference, 3, is a rational number.
Is the difference of 2 whole numbers always a whole number?
Yes, the difference of two whole numbers is always a whole number.
What is the difference of two odd numbers?
