Which list is most commonly called the whole numbers?

  1. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
  2. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
  3. -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
  4. 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, ...
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

1. Whole numbers are the counting numbers together with zero. 2. The list therefore starts at 0 and goes on without end. 3. The list starting at 1 leaves out zero, and the lists with negatives or fractions go beyond whole numbers. _Source: Wikipedia, Natural number, Terminology and notation_
