The familiar laws of the natural numbers in terms of N, 1, +, · and ≤: commutativity, associativity, distributivity, cancellation, the order laws and trichotomy, a < b exactly when b = a + d, compatibility of the order with + and ·, 1 is least, nothing lies between a and a + 1, every a ≠ 1 is a successor, induction from 1, the digits 2 to 10 as successive sums with 1, and well-ordering.
In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation, let and be as in The Set of Natural Numbers and the Number One §naturals and The Set of Natural Numbers and the Number One §one, let and be the addition and the multiplication on the set of The Class Omega of Natural Numbers with Zero §omega, of which is a subset, products being formed before sums as in Multiplication on Omega §precedence, and let and be the order and the strict order there. By Natural Numbers Are the Successors in Omega: One Is Least and Not a Successor of a Natural Number, the Successor Is Injective, and N Is Closed under Addition and Multiplication §closed, and for all .
