...

Natural Numbers are the numbers 1 through infinity.

Whole numbers.

So, they start from 1 and go on...

1, 2, 3, 4, .....

Now, Whole numbers are very same just that they start from 0, so it would be:

0, 1, 2, 3, ....

Integers would include the negatives fo the naturals and 0, so they would be:

...-2, -1, 0 , 1, 2, ....

We want a number NOT natural but integer, that would be 0.

So,

Natural Numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....

Whole Numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .....

Integers = ...-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
