Answer:
Both are rational numbers
Both are Natural numbers
Both numbers are at the same distance of 1000
|1000-1003| = |997-1000|
Explanation:
Both numbers have several things in common.
Both are rational numbers since they can be written as whole number fractions:
1003 = 1003/1
997 = 997/1
Both are Natural numbers, since they are non-negative integers.
Also both numbers are at the same distance of 1000.
| 997 -1000 | = 3
| 1000-1003 | = 3
