The five axioms, or postulates proposed by Peano are for the set of natural numbers: not real numbers. They are:
- Zero is a natural number.
- Every natural number has a successor in the natural numbers.
- Zero is not the successor of any natural number.
- If the successor of two natural numbers is the same, then the two original numbers are the same.
- If a set contains zero and the successor of every number is in the set, then the set contains the natural numbers.

Is axiom or properties of real numbers the same?
No, they are not the same. Axioms cannot be proved, most properties can.
What is the product of the first five number?
Assuming the first five numbers is meant to refer, not to the first five real numbers but to the first five positive integers, the answer is 1*2*3*4*5 = 120
What are axioms in algebra called in geometry?
They are called axioms, not surprisingly!
Axioms must be proved using data?
Axioms cannot be proved.
What is Peano's postulates?
There are five of them, also known as Peano's axioms:0 is a number.If n is a number then n's successor is a number.0 is not the successor of a number.If two numbers have successors that are equal then the numbers themselves are equal.If S is a set that contains 0 and also the successor of every number that is in S then every number is in S.
