In mathematics, infinity is not a specific number but rather a concept that represents something endless or unbounded. When we talk about infinity in numbers, we are referring to the idea of a quantity that has no limit. In some contexts, infinity can be represented symbolically as ∞, but it is important to note that infinity is not a real number and cannot be used in typical arithmetic operations.

Infinity is technically an innumerable concept. The way most mathematicians describe it is to use an ellipsis ("...") to state that a concrete pattern continues to infinity. For example, the set of integers is usually noted as { ... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... }, implying that every negative whole number comes before it and every positive number comes after it. For, say, a sequence of numbers starting at 1 and multiplying each term by half, you'd see { 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ... }.

1 or infinity itself
An infinity. There is an infinity of numbers between any two numbers. I you want whole numbers, there are 31.

Whole numbers are numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., up to infinity. And -1, -2, -3, ... down to "negative" infinity
