A whole number is an integer that is greater than or equal to 0 and is a non-negative number without any fractional or decimal component. Whole numbers are used to count the number of objects or to indicate the size or magnitude of a set or group of objects.

  • The smallest whole number is 0. They start from 0 and go up to infinity.
  • So, 0 is the smallest whole number.
  • The whole number is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
  • It represents the absence of any quantity and is used as a placeholder in various mathematical operations.
