Yes, 18 is a natural number, a whole number, and an integer.
- **Natural numbers** are the set of positive integers typically used for counting (1, 2, 3, ...). Since 18 is a positive integer, it is a natural number.
- **Whole numbers** include all natural numbers along with zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Therefore, 18 is also a whole number.
- **Integers** include all positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Since 18 is a positive whole number, it is an integer as well.
So, 18 fits all three categories.
