Answer 1

Natural numbers are also called counting numbers

Answer 2

Another name for the natural numbers is THE COUNTING NUMBERS.

Explanation:

As we know that the natural numbers are the numbers which are used for counting and hence they are known as the counting numbers.

They are given as follows:

{1,2,3,.......}

These are known as counting numbers because they could be used for counting the number of elements or could be used for ordering purpose.

They are also known as a set of positive integers.

Hence, the correct answer is:

{ the counting numbers}

( whereas the whole numbers are the set of all the counting numbers including 0 )
