Question

Give an example of a number that is a whole number, but NOT a natural number.
PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Answer: 0

Explanation: The set of counting numbers, {1, 2, 3, 4, ...}

is called the set of natural numbers.

When we include 0 in the set of natural numbers,

the new set, {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} is called the set of whole numbers.

Notice that all natural numbers are

included within the set of whole numbers.

We can represent the relationship between these two

sets of numbers using the diagram shown below.

In fact, 0 is the only whole number that's not a natural number.

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

Natural numbers or the counting numbers is all the positive, non-decimal numbers. They are 1, 2, 3... and so on. Natural numbers does not include 0.

Whole numbers are all the natural numbers with the addition of 0. In other words, whole numbers are: 0, 1, 2, 3... and so on.

Therefore, the only number that is a whole number and that's not a natural number is 0.
