The st of counting numbers are called natural numbers. This is taught in math.
The set of counting numbers is a proper subset of the whole number. The latter includes negative counting numbers. Also, there is no consensus as to whether 0 belongs to counting numbers or whole numbers.
The set of Natural Numbers is the set of 'counting numbers' {1,2,3,4,....}. All of them are also real numbers.
The immediate [next] superset is, trivially, the set of natural numbers which consists of the counting numbers and zero. The next significant superset is the set of integers: the counting numbers, their additive inverses (or negatives) and zero.
By definition, the set of counting numbers starts at one and proceeds in ascending order. The next number is 2. If two were not the next number in the set, it would not be the set of counting numbers.
This set of numbers is called "Whole Numbers".

The set of whole numbers.
The set of numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, …} is called the Natural Numbers. These numbers could also be called the counting numbers or the cardinal numbers.
The set of Natural Numbers is the set of 'counting numbers' {1,2,3,4,....}. All of them are also real numbers.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... are called the natural numbers, or sometimes, the counting numbers.
Whole numbers are the set of natural or counting numbers inclding zero
The set of counting numbers is denoted by N.
counting numbers
There is some disagreement. Some people include zero in the set of natural numbers (like whole numbers), some people don't (like counting numbers).
The immediate [next] superset is, trivially, the set of natural numbers which consists of the counting numbers and zero. The next significant superset is the set of integers: the counting numbers, their additive inverses (or negatives) and zero.
