What are the Numbers?

Numbers :

• A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label.

• The original examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth.

• For being manipulated, individual numbers need to be represented by symbols, called numerals;

for example,

"5" is a numeral that represents the number five.

• We use the digits 0 to 9 to form all the other numbers. Using these 10 digits we can form infinite numbers.

• The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are called counting numbers or natural numbers.

• The counting numbers or natural numbers along with zero form whole numbers.
