What to Focus On

  • Natural numbers come from counting by matching one thing with one other thing.
  • Natural numbers are N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...}.
  • Natural numbers are closed under addition.

  • Śhūnyatā means emptiness and influenced the idea of zero.
  • Brahmagupta formally made zero a number in 628 CE.
  • Zero obeys a + 0 = a, a – 0 = a, and a × 0 = 0.

  • Rational numbers are numbers of the form p/q, where q ≠ 0.
  • Q stands for quotient.
  • Equivalent fractions represent the same rational number.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Zero is just another natural number.

Negative numbers are not part of the number system used here.

Zero behaves like a normal number in every operation, including division.
