Whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. They are the numbers used for counting and are also called non-negative integers. Whole numbers do not include any fractions or decimals, and they do not have any decimal or fractional parts.
In set notation, we can represent whole numbers as {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}. This set starts at 0 and continues infinitely in the positive direction.
Whole numbers are used in various mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They are fundamental to understanding the number system and are the building blocks for more complex mathematical concepts.
