Key Concepts

Unboundedness

The concept of unboundedness in the context of whole numbers refers to the fact that for any whole number, there is always a greater whole number. This property means that the set of whole numbers does not have an upper limit or a greatest element.

Whole Numbers

Whole numbers are the set of non-negative integers, typically beginning with 0 and continuing indefinitely. They are foundational in mathematics, representing quantities in counting and discrete measurements.
