Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1 and extending infinitely (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). On the other hand, whole numbers include zero along with the set of natural numbers (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). Therefore, the main difference is that whole numbers include zero, whereas natural numbers do not.
