Natural Numbers

Natural numbers are the counting numbers used to quantify objects, order, or set sizes. They start from 1 and continue onwards: 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. They do not include zero or negative numbers. Natural numbers are fundamental in mathematics because they form the basis for counting, ordering, and understanding quantities in everyday life and various mathematical concepts. They are essential for tasks like tallying items, assigning positions, and performing basic arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication.
