Natural numbers are called Natural because they are used for counting naturally. In a sense, the set of Natural numbers is the most basic system of numbers, because it is intuitive, or natural, and hence the name. We use Natural numbers in our everyday life, in counting discrete objects, that is, objects which can be counted.

We see numbers everywhere around us, for counting objects, for representing or exchanging money, measuring the temperature, telling the time, etc. These numbers that are used for counting objects are called “natural numbers”.
