the set of whole numbers include zero but the natural numbers do not? true or false
The predecessor of 1 is 0. If you define "natural numbers" as starting at 1, then 1 has no predecessor. (Natural numbers can be defined either to include, or to exclude, zero.)
Natural numbers are:counting numbersnon-negative, non-zero integers; positive integersnon-zero whole numbers; positive whole numbers
0,1,2,3...
Natural numbers consist of the set of all whole numbers greater than zero.
Whole numbers include 0,1,2,3.... Natural numbers are the same numbers, excluding zero.
the set of whole numbers include zero but the natural numbers do not? true or false
The set of natural numbers plus zero is the set of all non-negative integers. Please note that the definition for the set of natural numbers is ambiguous. Some definitions include zero, while others exclude it.
I would call them "natural numbers". The natural numbers are normally assumed to include zero; although that was not part of the original definition.
Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1 and extending infinitely (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). On the other hand, whole numbers include zero along with the set of natural numbers (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...). Therefore, the main difference is that whole numbers include zero, whereas natural numbers do not.
When it is not included in the natural numbers, it is referred to as 'the natural numbers with zero'.
Whole numbers and natural numbers are the exact same, except that whole numbers include zero
Natural Numbers do not inculde 0
No. "Natural numbers" refers to whole, non-negative numbers, which may or may not include zero. So, if you include zero, it refers to the numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... etc.
Zero is a member of the set of whole numbers. Some people include it in the set of natural numbers, some people don't.
No. Zero is a natural number but it is not positive. However, all other natural numbers are positive.
The only difference is that whole numbers include 0 (zero), while natural numbers start with 1 (one). That's it!
