What is the cardinal of \(\mathbb{N}\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(\aleph_0\)
Explanation
The cardinal of \(\mathbb{N}\) is \(\aleph_0\), the first infinite cardinal. The symbol \(\infty\) is not a cardinal number.
Review the concept: Cardinal number
The cardinal number of a set \(A\) is the least ordinal equinumerous with \(A\). It measures the size of \(A\) and also works for infinite sets.
\[|A| = \min\{\alpha \in \mathrm{Ord} : \alpha \approx A\}\]
