Whey does natural numbers start from one and not from zero

Open in App
Solution

Zero is known as the neutral integer, or the whole number that comes in the middle of the positive and negative numbers on a number line. Zero does not have a positive or negative value. Zero is however considered a whole number, which in turn makes it an integer, but not necessarily a natural number.
