Cardinal & Ordinal Numbers in English! Cardinal numbers, or cardinals, are a generalization of natural numbers used to assess the cardinality of sets in mathematics. Cardinal numbers are “one, two, three,” and so on, as opposed to ordinal numbers, which are “first, second, third,” and so on.
An ordinal number, often known as an ordinal, is a modification of the idea of a natural number that describes a method of arranging a (potentially infinite) collection of things in order, one after the other.
