How many shells did they collect in all? Club all the natural numbers, given in the situation and perform the arithmetic operation accordingly. Therefore, Silvia and Susan collected 14 shells in all. Natural numbers are the numbers that start from 1 and end at infinity. In other words, we considered natural numbers as a set of whole numbers excluding the number 0. No, 0 is not a natural number. Natural numbers start from 1 and can be listed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. Natural numbers are called natural because they are used for counting naturally.
The set of natural numbers is the most basic system of numbers because it is intuitive, or natural, and hence the name. We use natural numbers in our everyday life, in counting discrete objects, that is, objects which can be counted.
The first five natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. For example, if we want to find the sum of the first six natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, we will replace 'n' with 6 the total number of terms and solve the formula. We get 21 as the answer.
Integers are the numbers that form the set of negative and positive numbers, including zero, and the positive numbers come under the category of natural numbers.
Thus, all natural numbers are integers. Learn Practice Download. Natural Numbers Natural numbers are a part of the number system, including all the positive integers from 1 to infinity.
Introduction to Natural Numbers 2. What Are Natural Numbers? Natural Numbers and Whole Numbers 4. Natural Numbers on Number Line 6. Properties of Natural Numbers 7. Solution: Natural numbers include only the positive integers and we know that on adding two or more positive integers, we get their sum as a positive integer, similarly, when we multiply two negative integers, we get their product as a positive integer.

Practice Questions on Natural Numbers. Explore math program. The numbers can form an addition, subtraction, multiplication or division problem. One of the first cryptarithms came into being in in the form of an addition problem the words being intended to represent a student's letter from college to the parents.
Of course, you have to use logic to derive the numbers represented by each letter.. Amicable numbers are pairs of numbers, each of which is the sum of the others aliquot divisors. For example, and are amicable numbers whereas all the aliquot divisors of , i. Other amicable numbers are:.
There are more than known amicable pairs. Amicable numbers are sometimes referred to as friendly numbers. Several methods exist for deriving amicable numbers, though not all, unfortunately. An Arabian mathematician devised one method. For values of n greater than 1, amicable numbers take the form:. In reviewing the few amicable pairs shown earlier, it is obvious that this method does not produce all amicable pairs.
If the number 1 is not used in the addition of the aliquot divisors of two numbers, and the remaining aliquot divisors of each number still add up to the other number, the numbers are called semi-amicable. For example, the sum of the aliquot divisors of 48, excluding the 1, is 75 while the sum of the aliquot divisors of 75, excluding the 1, is The apocalypse number, , often referred to as the beast number, is referred to in the bible, Revelations While the actual meaning or relevance of the number remain unclear, the number itself has some surprisingly interesting characteristics.
Multiplying the sides of the primitive right triangle by 18 yields non-primitive sides of Even more surprising is the fact that these sides can be written in the Pythagorean Theorem form:.
Arrangement numbers, more commonly called permutation numbers, or simply permutations, are the number of ways that a number of things can be ordered or arranged. They typically evolve from the question how many arrangements of "n" objects are possible using all "n" objects or "r" objects at a time. We designate the permutations of "n" things taken "n" at a time as n P n and the permutations of "n" things taken "r" at a time as n P r where P stands for permutations, "n" stands for the number of things involved, and "r" is less than "n".
How many 3-place numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, with no repeating digit? How many 3-letter arrangements can be made from the entire 26 letter alphabet with no repeating letters? Lastly, four persons enter a car in which there are six seats. In how many ways can they seat themselves? Another permutation scenario is one where you wish to find the permutations of "n" things, taken all at a time, when "p" things are of one kind, "q" things of another kind, "r' things of a third kind, and the rest are all different.
Without getting into the derivation,. Example, how many different permutations are possible from the letters of the word committee taken all together? There are 9 letters of which 2 are m, 2 are t, 2 are e, and 1 c, 1 o, and 1 i. Therefore, the number of possible permutations of these 9 letters is:.
Automorphic numbers are numbers of "n" digits whose squares end in the number itself. Such numbers must end in 1, 5, or 6 as these are the only numbers whose products produce 1, 5, or 6 in the units place. For instance, the square of 1 is 1; the square of 5 is 25; the square of 6 is What about 2 digit numbers ending in 1, 5, or 6? It is well known that all 2 digit numbers ending in 5 result in a number ending in 25 making 25 a 2 digit automorphic number with a square of No other 2 digit numbers ending in 5 will produce an automorphic number.
Is there a 2 digit automorphic number ending in 1? Continuing in this fashion, we find no 2 digit automorphic number ending in 1. Is there a 2 digit automorphic number ending in 6?
By the same process, it can be shown that the squares of every number ending in or will end in or The sequence of squares ending in 25 are 25, , , , , , etc. This expression derives from the Finite Difference Series of the squares. Binary numbers are the natural numbers written in base 2 rather than base While the base 10 system uses 10 digits, the binary system uses only 2 digits, namely 0 and 1, to express the natural numbers in binary notation. The binary digits 0 and 1 are the only numbers used in computers and calculators to represent any base 10 number.
This derives from the fact that the numbers of the familiar binary sequence, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, , etc. In this manner, the counting numbers can be represented in a computer using only the binary digits of 0 and 1 as follows.
As you can see, the location of the ones digit in the binary representation indicates the numbers of the binary sequence that are to be added together to yield the base 10 number of interest. A cardinal number is a number that defines how many items there are in a group or collection of items.
Typically, an entire group of items is referred to as the "set" of items and the items within the set are referred to as the "elements" of the set. For example, the number, group, or set, of players on a baseball team is defined by the cardinal number 9. The set of high school students in the graduating class is defined by the cardinal number See ordinal numbers and tag numbers. Catalan numbers are one of many special sequences of numbers that derive from combinatorics problems in recreational mathematics.
Combinatorics deals with the selection of elements from a set of elements typically encountered under the topics of probability, combinations, permutations, and sampling. The specific Catalan numbers are 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, , , , , 16, and so on deriving from. This particular set of numbers derive from several combinatoric problems, one of which is the following.
Given "2n" people gathered at a round table. How many person to person, non-crossing, handshakes can be made, i.
A few quick sketches of circles with even sets of dots and lines will lead you to the first three answers easily. Two people, one handshake. Four people, two handshakes. Six people, 5 handshakes. With a little patience and perseverance, eight people will lead you to 14 handshakes. Beyond that, it is probably best to rely on the given expression. Choice numbers, more commonly called combination numbers, or simply combinations, are the number of ways that a number of things can be selected, chosen, or grouped.
Combinations concern only the grouping of items and not the arrangement of those items. They typically evolve from the question how many combinations of "n" objects are possible using all "n" objects or "r" objects at a time?
To find the number of combinations of "n" dissimilar things taken "r" at a time, the formula is:. In how many ways can a committee of three people be selected from a group of 12 people? We have:. How many handshakes will take place between six people in a room when they each shakes hands with all the other people in the room one time?
Notice that no consideration is given to the order or arrangement of the items but simply the combinations. Another way of viewing combinations is as follows. Consider the number of combinations of 5 letters taken 3 at a time. This produces:. Each group would produce r! This total, however, represents all the possible permutations arrangements of n things taken r at a time, which is shown under arrangement numbers and defined as n P r. Consider the following: How many different ways can you enter a 4 door car?
It is clear that there are 4 different ways of entering the car. Another way of expressing this is:. If we ignore the presence of the front seats for the purpose of this example, how many different ways can you exit the car assuming that you do not exit through the door you entered?
Clearly you have 3 choices. This too can be expressed as:. Carrying this one step further, how many different ways can you enter the car by one door and exit through another? Entering through door 1 leaves you with 3 other doors to exit through. The same result exists if you enter through either of the other 3 doors.
Therefore, the total number of ways of entering and exiting under the specified conditions is:. Another example of this type of situation is how many ways can a committee of 4 girls and 3 boys be selected from a class of 10 girls and 8 boys? This results in:. A circular prime number is one that remains a prime number after repeatedly relocating the first digit of the number to the end of the number.
For example, , and are all prime numbers. Negative numbers are not considered "whole numbers. The integers are Fractions and decimals are not integers.
All whole numbers are integers and all natural numbers are integers , but not all integers are whole numbers or natural numbers. For example, -5 is an integer but not a whole number or a natural number. The rational numbers include all the integers, plus all fractions, or terminating decimals and repeating decimals. All natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers are rationals, but not all rational numbers are natural numbers, whole numbers, or integers.
We now have the following number classifications: I. Natural Numbers II. Whole Numbers III.
