1, 2, and 3 are the first three positive integers, but you can't say that they're the first three positive numbers. If you try that, somebody is sure to come along and say "but what about 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ?"
The fact is, nobody can say what the first (lowest) positive 'number' is. Whatever number you name, no matter how small it is, there is always another one that's smaller and still positive.
