Not everyone is agreed on this but Peano's axioms, which are the basis for the axiomatic structure of numbers defines 0 as a natural number and then all other natural numbers in terms of successors.

  • 0 is not a successor of any natural number.
  • 1 is the successor of 0 is 1 = S(0)
  • 2 = S(S(0))
  • 3 = S(S(S(0))) and so on.
Accordingly, the first natural number is 0.

Is the sum of two rational numbers sometimes 0?

Yes. For example: * 0 + 0 = 0 * 1/1 + (-1/1) = 0 * 1/2 + 1/3 is not equal to zero. If the second rational number is the additive inverse of the first, then yes the sum of two rational numbers can be zero. The additive inverse is that number when added to another number gives the result 0, and is denoted as the negative of the first number; the additive inverse of the number a is denoted by -(a) and is such that a + -(a) = 0. eg the additive inverse of 1/2 is -(1/2) giving 1/2 + -(1/2) = 0.

What is the next number in the sequence 7 6 4 6 2 6 1 6?

1 is a possibility because: I believe that this sequence has two parts. It is an alternating sequence. It has a repeated pattern of 6s as the second number and 4th and 6th and 8th etc. The first number and third and fith, etc. goes down by a number which goes down each time. So it is: 7-3 6+/- 0 4-2 6+/- 0 2-1 6+/- 0 1-0 6+/- 0 1-1 6+/- 0 0 (etc.) But simply the answer could be many things but 1 is the answer I found first.

What number multiplied by zero equals 1?

There is no number that can multiplied by 0 to get 1. The equation 0x = 1 has no solution bcause 0x = 0 whatever number x may be. You might think that 1/0 times 0 would equal 1 but 1/0 is not a number.
