Answer:
Natural number
Natural numbers are a part of the number system which includes all the positive integers from 1 till infinity and are also used for counting purpose. It does not include zero (0). In fact, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9…., are also called counting numbers.
Natural numbers are part of real numbers, that include only the positive integers i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4,5,6, ………. excluding zero, fractions, decimals and negative numbers.
Note: Natural numbers do not include negative numbers or zero.
Whole number
The whole numbers are the part of the number system in which it includes all the positive integers from 0 to infinity. These numbers exist in the number line. Hence, they are all real numbers. We can say, all the whole numbers are real numbers, but not all the real numbers are whole numbers.
The complete set of natural numbers along with ‘0’ are called whole numbers. The examples are: 0, 11, 25, 36, 999, 1200, etc.
