CARDINAL NUMBERS

Cardinal numbers are counting

numbers. The numbers that we use for
counting are called cardinal numbers.
Cardinal numbers tell us “How many?”
For example:
How many dogs are there in all? 
To know the total number of dogs, we need to
count the dogs given in the image.

Therefore, there are 8 dogs in all.

How many cardinal numbers are
there?
Cardinal numbers can go on and on and on. That
means there are infinite counting numbers.
•How are cardinal numbers
formed?
The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 are used to
form several other cardinal numbers.  
For example:

Is zero (0) a cardinal number?

No, zero (0) is not a cardinal number. To know “how
many” there should be something. Since 0 means nothing;
it is not a cardinal number.
We can write cardinal numbers in numerals as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so
on as well as in words like one, two, three, four, and so on.
The chart shows the cardinal numbers in figures as well in words.
