Question

Are all whole numbers also natural numbers?

Answer 1

Whole numbers

Whole numbers are defined as the set of natural numbers, and it started with zero. The whole numbers in set notation is $\left\{0,1,2,3,4,5,\dots .\right\}$

Natural numbers

Natural numbers are defined as the basic counting numbers. The natural number in set notation is $\left\{1,2,3,4,5,\dots ..\right\}$

All-natural numbers are whole numbers but not all whole numbers are natural numbers.

$0$is an exception. $0$ is a whole number. Natural numbers are counting numbers and start from $1$. Whole numbers consist of all the natural numbers along with zero. It starts from$0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,$and so on. But all whole numbers are not natural numbers.

Hence, all whole numbers are not natural numbers.
