WHAT DOES NATURAL NUMBER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Natural number

In mathematics, the natural numbers are those used for counting and ordering. These purposes are related to the linguistic notions of cardinal and ordinal numbers, respectively. A later notion is that of a nominal number, which is used only for naming. Properties of the natural numbers related to divisibility, such as the distribution of prime numbers, are studied in number theory. Problems concerning counting and ordering, such as partition enumeration, are studied in combinatorics. There is no universal agreement about whether to include zero in the set of natural numbers. Today some textbooks, especially college textbooks, define the natural numbers to be the positive integers, while others, especially primary and secondary textbooks, define the term as the non-negative integers.
