Yes, natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers. Natural numbers are typically defined as the set of positive integers starting from 1 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, ...). In some contexts, natural numbers can also include 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), but traditionally, they start from 1.
Whole numbers, on the other hand, include all natural numbers as well as 0 (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Therefore, all natural numbers are indeed whole numbers, but not all whole numbers are natural numbers if we consider natural numbers starting from 1.
