A natural number is a positive counting number, ie, 0 1 2 3 4. -1 -2 -3 and -4 are whole numbers but cannot be natural numbers as they are negative.
It is replacing the number by the whole number such that the difference between the number and that whole number is the smallest that it can be.
They are not. 0 (which is a whole number) is not considered a counting number(natural #).
an integer is a whole number
All counting numbers ARE (not is!) a proper subset of the set of whole numbers.
