Natural numbers

Natural numbers, also known as counting numbers, are a set of numbers that are used to count or label objects. They are positive, whole numbers (excluding zero). The set of natural numbers starts from 1 and continues infinitely. In other words, natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on.

To understand natural numbers better, let's break down how we can find or generate them:

1. Start with the number 1: The first natural number is always 1.

2. Increment by 1: To generate the next natural number, add 1 to the previous number. For example, 1 + 1 = 2, so 2 is the next natural number. Similarly, 2 + 1 = 3, so 3 is the next one, and so on.

3. Repeat indefinitely: You can keep adding 1 to the previous number to find the subsequent natural numbers. There is no end to how many natural numbers there are; you can keep going on forever.

In summary, natural numbers are positive, whole numbers that are used for counting or labeling objects. They start from 1 and continue infinitely by adding 1 to the previous number.
