Natural numbers- Numbers starting from 1 to infinity (without fractions or decimals)

i.e., Natural numbers= 1,2,3,4…

Whole numbers- Numbers starting from 0 to infinity (without fractions or decimals)

i.e., Whole numbers= 0,1,2,3…

Is the statement true if a number is not a natural number then it is not a whole number true?

That depends - unfortunately, "whole number" is ambiguous, and can mean different things to different people. If by "whole number" you mean "natural number", then both are of course the same. If you choose to include negative numbers in your definition of "whole number", i.e., whole numbers = integers, then the two sets are not the same, and the proposed statement is false.

Is it true that whole numbers are natural numbers?

Natural numbers are all numbers 1, 2, 3, 4… They are the numbers you usually count and they will continue on into infinity. Whole numbers are all natural numbers including 0 e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…

Is a whole number True or false?

The statement is False. Whole numbers are made up of natural numbers like 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as 0. Whereas real numbers are made up of rational and irrational numbers. The set of whole numbers is naturally a proper subset of the set of rational numbers.
