here is urs answer dear!!! ->

⇒ Cardinal number : a number denoting quantity (one, two, three, etc.), as opposed to an ordinal number (first, second, third, etc.).
⇒ A cardinal number is a number used in counting to indicate quantity.
⇒ The cardinal numbers refer to the size of a group:

zero (0)
one (1)
two (2)
three (3)
four (4)etc.......

⇒ Cardinal numbers are counting numbers. They express absolute number without any implication of position. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ordinal Numbers:

⇒ A number that tells the position of something in a list.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc.

⇒ The least ordinal associated with a given cardinal is called the initial ordinal of that cardinal. 

⇒ Using ordinal number words is closely tied to understanding the concepts on which objects or events are being ordered, i.e. comparing heights, comparing volumes, comparing times, comparing areas etc.
