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.

What is the difference between the smallest natural number and the first counting number?
The first counting number is 1. There is some disagreement over the smallest natural number. It is either 0 or 1 so your answer is either 0 or 1.
In the cells show. Place 10 digits numbers such as the digit in the first cell indicates the total number of 0s in the entire number the digit in cell 1 indicates the number of 1s in the number and so?
The answer is 6 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 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.
Which ordered pair could you remove from the relation 2 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 so that it becomes a function?
The first number in each pair must be unique.
What is the smallest counting number?
1
