Inside the rationals, the natural numbers sit via n ↦ j(ι(n)), which is injective, positive and preserves 1, sums, products and order; the negations of Z and Q are their ring negatives; and every rational [x, m] is the quotient of the integer x by the natural number m.
In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let , its operations, , and be as in The Integers, and , , its operations and order, , and as in The Rational Numbers. By The Integers Form an Ordered Ring Containing the Natural Numbers as Its Positive Elements §ring and The Rational Numbers Form an Archimedean Ordered Field Containing the Integers §ordered-field, is a commutative ring and an ordered field, with negatives as in Negatives, Differences, Reciprocals and Quotients §negative and, in , reciprocals and quotients as in Negatives, Differences, Reciprocals and Quotients §reciprocal.
