-2/3 is not a natural number for various reasons, most of which include:

• It’s a fraction. Fractions cannot be natural numbers

• It’s a negative fraction. Natural numbers are greater than 0 and are whole numbers

Essentially, identifying a natural number is the same as counting up starting at 1. Any whole number that isn’t negative and is greater than 0 is considered a natural number.
