What are the Ordinal Numbers?
Ordinal numbers is a generalisation of the natural number concept which is commonly used to
describe a way by which you can arrange a collection of objects in order of one after another.
They are those numerals that will help you to find and identify the position of objects or people
This is the reason that they are commonly referred to s positioning numbers. If there is a
specified list of persons or objects, then the position of each object or person can be
determined by using ordinal numbers. The ordinal numbers can be written using numerals as
prefixes and adjectives as suffixes, for example, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and so on. The
main element by which you can easily identify an ordinal number is that it talks about
positioning, like if wo say "bring me the box of cookies lying on the 3rd shelf”. Here the ordinal
number is 3 which informs one about the position of the cookie box.
Use of Ordinal Numbers
If we want to know about the order of dates and order of something, then using ordinal
numbers is the best option. Remember that ordinal numbers are only used when you are
provided with the data and want to put it in order.
For example, we say that the one who attempted the paper is an excellent and skilful way to
secure the first position. The one who did better, but not as good as the first one, secured the
second position, while the one who did the worst stood last in the class. This is what ordinal
numbers are used for. This article will help you to get @ brief knowledge about the topic of

specified list. For example, we can use ordinal numbers in the following ways;Vedaniti,

* Raj

* Ritu came 2nd in the race.
Here 2nd is the ordinal number which tells you about the place that Ritu has secured in
the race.
+ The 8th table is reserved.
Here, 8th refers to the table reservation that is made.
Ordinal Numbers Chart
The representation of Ordinal numbers in the form of a chart is known as the Ordinal Chart. A
list of Ordinal Numbers charts with pictures is given below for a better understanding. The list
below represents the ordinal numbers both in numerals and in words from 1 to 10
We have often observed that students are quick in acquiring information from charts so for
ordinal numbers the below-mentioned chart is there that will help the students to know about
these ordinal numbers in detailVedaniti,

Example: How to write the ordinal numbers from 1 to 100?
So, here is the answer, we have added the list of ordinal numbers 1 to 100, and you can see
from here how to write ordinal numbers 1 to 100, and you can see from here how to write
ordinal number 1 to 100, and for better understanding, we have segregated the chart on ordinal
numbers into two parts, one part has ordinal numbers from 1 to 50, and the other chart consists
of ordinal numbers 51 to 100.

Students often find it difficult to leam all the 100 ordinal numbers simultaneously so for your
convenience we have segregated the table into two parts of 50 each, so it will be easy for you
to leam, accompanying the two charts. The first part has an ordinal number from 1 to 50 while
the other chart has the ordinal numbers from 51 to 100.Vedaniti,

Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal Numbers are those types of numbers that are used for counting the number of objects
or persons in a specified list. Cardinal Numbers are used for representing the cardinality of the
number of elements in a set
Here cardinality means to know about the number of elements in a set or other grouping, as
their property.
For example, cardinal numbers can be: one, two, three, four, five and so on.
Nominal Numbers
Nominal Numbers are a set of numbers that are used as labeling of certain items or places so
that they can be identified easily.
Nominal numbers are used to identify the item uniquely. These numbers if they represent the
actual value of then it Is very less relevant because this Is just going to give information about
location and not about its quantity, quality etc. Nominal numbers can be used as area codes,
on number plates of vehicles, ete. Any operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division are meaningless on nominal numbers
