Naturals, or natural numbers, are the set of positive integers used for counting and ordering. They start from 1 and continue indefinitely: 1, 2, 3, 4, .... In mathematics, natural numbers are fundamental as they form the basis for arithmetic operations like addition and multiplication. Natural numbers do not include negative numbers or fractions. They are often represented by the symbol N. In various fields, such as computer science and statistics, natural numbers play a crucial role in algorithms, data analysis, and counting processes.
