Can a number be both natural and positive?

The most common definition of 'natural' numbers is: The counting numbers.According to that definition, all natural numbers are positive.


What you called natural numbers with 0?

I would call them "natural numbers". The natural numbers are normally assumed to include zero; although that was not part of the original definition.


Is -4 a natural number an integer or both?

It is only an integer, as natural numbers are all integers from 0 (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…). According to another definition of the set of natural numbers, integers from 1 are considered natural. In other words, according to the first definition, the set of natural numbers is all non-negative integers. According to the second definition, the set of natural numbers is all positive integers.


-7 is a prime number?

No it is not. By definition, a prime number must be a natural number. Negative numbers are not in the set of natural numbers.


Why 0 not be considered as natural number?

Depending on the definition of the words "natural numbers", the natural numbers are either, "the set of positive integers", that is, integers from 1 upwards, or "the set of non-negative integers", that is, integers from 0 upwards.Therefore, 0 can be included as one of the natural numbers, depending on your definition.


What is the only whole number that is not a natural or counting number?

Zero, by the traditional definition of natural numbers.


What is a natural numbers greater than on that have no other factors except one and themselves?

That is the definition of prime numbers.


Is zero not an element of the set of natural numbers?

The inclusion of zero in the set of natural numbers depends on the definition being used. In some definitions, particularly in mathematical contexts, the natural numbers start from zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), while in others, they begin from one (1, 2, 3, ...). Therefore, zero can be considered an element of the natural numbers in the former definition but not in the latter.


Is 4.7 a natural number?

No, 4.7 is not a natural number. Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1, including numbers like 1, 2, 3, and so on. Since 4.7 is a decimal and not a whole number, it does not fall within the definition of natural numbers.


Why The set of whole numbers include zero but the natural numbers do not?

The Dedekind-Peano axioms form the basis for the axiomatic system of numbers. According to the first axiom, zero is a natural number. That suggests that the question refers to some alternative, non-standard definition of natural numbers.


What is a set of natural numbers and zero?

The set of natural numbers plus zero is the set of all non-negative integers. Please note that the definition for the set of natural numbers is ambiguous. Some definitions include zero, while others exclude it.


What are non examples of natural numbers?

Non-examples of natural numbers include negative integers (e.g., -1, -5), fractions (e.g., 1/2, 3/4), and irrational numbers (e.g., √2, π). Additionally, zero is often excluded from the set of natural numbers, depending on the definition used. Natural numbers are strictly positive whole numbers starting from 1 (or sometimes 0).
