  • The Natural Numbers Are Well Ordered

    theoremthm:well-ordering-natural-numbers-2026aNumber TheorySet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} denote the natural numbers with the order ≤\le, and let A⊆NA\subseteq\mathbb{N} be nonempty. Then AA has a least element: there exists a∈Aa\in A such that a≤ma\le m for every m∈Am\in A. This element is unique, and is denoted min⁡A\min A.

  • Divisibility of Natural Numbers

    definitiondef:divides-natural-numbers-2026aNumber TheorySet Theory
    Let a,b∈Na,b\in\mathbb{N}, where N\mathbb{N} is the set of natural numbers with multiplication ⋅\cdot as in that definition. We say that aa divides bb, written a∣b,a\mid b, if there exists c∈Nc\in\mathbb{N} with b=a⋅cb=a\cdot c.

  • Order on the Natural Numbers

    definitiondef:order-natural-numbers-2026aNumber TheorySet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with addition ++ as in that definition, and let m,n∈Nm,n\in\mathbb{N}. We write m<nm<n if there exists k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} with n=m+kn=m+k, and we write m≤nm\le n if m<nm<n or m=nm=n. We also write n>mn>m for m<nm<n, and n≥mn\ge m for…

  • Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with addition ++ and successor map SS as in that definition. Then the following hold for all a,b,c∈Na,b,c\in\mathbb{N}. 1. a+1=S(a)a+1=S(a) and 1+a=S(a)1+a=S(a). 2. S(a)+b=S(a+b)S(a)+b=S(a+b). 3. (Associativity) (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)(a+b)+c=a+(b+c). 4. (Commutativity)…

    Let XX be a set and let m,n∈Nm,n\in\mathbb{N}, where N\mathbb{N} is the set of natural numbers and [m][m], [n][n] denote the initial segments determined by mm and nn. If there exist bijections f:[m]→Xandg:[n]→X,f:[m]\to X\qquad\text{and}\qquad g:[n]\to X, then m=nm=n.

  • Initial Segment of the Natural Numbers

    definitiondef:initial-segment-natural-numbers-2026aNumber TheorySet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers and let ≤\le be the order on N\mathbb{N}. For n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, the initial segment determined by nn is the set [n]={k∈N:k≤n},[n]=\{k\in\mathbb{N}: k\le n\}, also written {1,…,n}\{1,\dots,n\}.
