The natural numbers are the ones we use in everyday life to count or order.

The set of natural numbers is represented by ℕ and is made up of: {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...,}

So, the answer is:

* Zero and the positive integers

The set of integers is made up of the natural numbers, their opposites (negative) and zero:

{,...,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4}

Basically, whole numbers are those that have no decimal part
