We normally count in whole numbers, one, two, three, etc as each number represents a person place or thing that we are counting. We identify the people, places or things with whole numbers.
For example, One man, two women, three children, four houses, five horses, etc. We 'see' them as wholes and count them as wholes.
However, sometimes with things, we might use non whole numbers, not to identify (counting) but to quantify. One and a half gallons of milk, two and three fourths pounds of carrots, etc.
