Detailed Solution

We know that we use numbers to count things that we can see or touch. We can count the number of wheels in a truck, the number of bags or notebooks in a classroom, the number of leaves on trees because we can see them or touch them. The numbers we use to count are called counting numbers. Another name for counting numbers is natural numbers, because everything we use to count exists in nature. The natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,...
We know that the numbers we use to count first are always smaller than the numbers we use later. When we are asked to count trees or whatever, for example, we start with the number 1. Since we are using the number 1, the first 1 is the smallest natural number.
We can add 1 to a natural number and we can get a natural number greater than the previous natural number. Suppose we say the largest number is 1000000000, we can add 1 to it and get 1000000000+1=1000000001 natural number greater than 1000000000. Therefore we cannot get the largest natural number.
