Description

A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The most basic examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Numbers can be represented in language with number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to represent any number. The most common numeral system is the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which allows for the representation of any non-negative integer using a combination of ten fundamental numeric symbols, called digits. In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels, for ordering, and for codes. In common usage, a numeral is not clearly distinguished from the number that it represents.

संख्याएँ वे गणितीय वस्तुएँ हैं जिनका उपयोग मापने, गिनने और नामकरण करने के लिए किया जाता है। १, २, ३, ४ आदि प्राकृतिक संख्याएँ इसकी सबसे मूलभूत उदाहरण हैं। इसके अलावा वास्तविक संख्याएँ और अन्य प्रकार की संख्याएँ भी आधुनिक विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी में प्रयुक्त होतीं हैं। संख्याएँ हमारे जीवन के ढर्रे को निर्धरित करती हैं। केल्विन ने संख्याओं के बारे में कहा है कि आप किसी परिघटना के बारे में कुछ नहीं जानते यदि आप उसे संख्याओं के द्वारा अभिव्यक्त नहीं कर सकते।
