Cardinal

In general knowledge, "cardinal" refers to numbers that indicate quantity or count, such as one, two, three, and so on. Unlike ordinal numbers, which represent position or order (like first, second, third), cardinal numbers simply answer the question of "how many?" For instance, if you have five apples, the number five is a cardinal number because it shows the total amount of apples. Cardinal numbers are fundamental in mathematics and everyday counting, helping us understand and communicate quantities effectively.
