Whole numbers Whole numbers is a collection of all the basic counting numbers and 0. In mathematics, counting numbers are called natural numbers. So, we can define the whole number as a collection of all natural numbers and 0. Whole numbers also include all positive integers along with zero. Composite numbers In math, composite numbers can be defined as numbers that have more than two factors. Numbers that are not prime are composite numbers because they are divisible by more than two numbers. Natural numbers Natural numbers are all positive integers from 1 to infinity. They are also called counting numbers as they are used to count objects. Natural numbers do not include 0 or negative numbers. We need numbers in our everyday life, be it for counting objects, telling time, or numbering houses. Integers Is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative, or zero. As you can see from the definitions, an integer could be a whole number, could be a composite number or natural number. Whole numbers, composite numbers and natural numbers are all subset of integers
