Question

All of the following represent the same set of numbers except

positive integers
whole numbers
natural numbers
counting numbers

Answer 1

The answer is whole numbers because only whole numbers are the set that starts from zero.

Answer 2

Let us define each :

1. Natural numbers : the positive integers (whole numbers) 1, 2, 3, etc., and sometimes zero as well.

2.Whole numbers: Whole Numbers are simply the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... (and so on)

3. Positive integers: The positive integers, z+ , consist of the whole numbers beginning with one.

4. Counting numbers: Any number you can use for counting things: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... (and so on). Does not include zero.

So we can say that whole numbers is the odd one out, since it includes 0 and others dont.
