Numbers
Numbers are used for calculating and counting.
These counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .......... are called natural numbers.
In order to describe the number of elements in a collection with no objects, we use the symbol ‘0’ called zero.

In order to represent any numbers, we use ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. These ten symbols are called digits or figures.
A group of digits denoting a number is called a numeral.
For example, 1237, 70156, 100758 etc. are numerals.`
Note:

The method of representing a number in digits or figures is called notation.
Numeration is known as the method of expressing a number in words.
