5.4  Integer sets
5.4.1  Positive integers (as a subset of complex numbers)
Syntax	cn 12305	Extend class notation to include the class of positive integers.
class ℕ
Definition	df-nn 12306	Define the set of positive integers. Some authors, especially in analysis books, call these the natural numbers, whereas other authors choose to include 0 in their definition of natural numbers. Note that ℕ is a subset of complex numbers (nnsscn 12310), in contrast to the more elementary ordinal natural numbers ω, df-om 7861). See nnind 12323 for the principle of mathematical induction. See df-n0 12577 for the set of nonnegative integers ℕ0. See dfn2 12589 for ℕ defined in terms of ℕ0. This is a technical definition that helps us avoid the Axiom of Infinity ax-inf2 9620 in certain proofs. For a more conventional and intuitive definition ("the smallest set of reals containing 1 as well as the successor of every member") see dfnn3 12319 (or its slight variant dfnn2 12318). (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-1997.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 3-May-2014.)

5.4.2  Principle of mathematical induction
Theorem	nnind 12323*	Principle of Mathematical Induction (inference schema). The first four hypotheses give us the substitution instances we need; the last two are the basis and the induction step. See nnaddcl 12328 for an example of its use. See nn0ind 12764 for induction on nonnegative integers and uzind 12761, uzind4 13003 for induction on an arbitrary upper set of integers. See indstr 13013 for strong induction. See also nnindALT 12324. This is an alternative for Metamath 100 proof #74. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-1997.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 16-Jun-2013.)

Theorem	nnindALT 12324*	Principle of Mathematical Induction (inference schema). The last four hypotheses give us the substitution instances we need; the first two are the induction step and the basis. This ALT version of nnind 12323 has a different hypothesis order. It may be easier to use with the Metamath program Proof Assistant, because "MM-PA> ASSIGN LAST" will be applied to the substitution instances first. We may eventually use this one as the official version. You may use either version. After the proof is complete, the ALT version can be changed to the non-ALT version with "MM-PA> MINIMIZE_WITH nnind / MAYGROW";. (Contributed by NM, 7-Dec-2005.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	nnmtmip 12334	"Minus times minus is plus, The reason for this we need not discuss." (W. H. Auden, as quoted in M. Guillen "Bridges to Infinity", p. 64, see also Metamath Book, section 1.1.1, p. 5) This statement, formalized to "The product of two negative integers is a positive integer", is proved by the following theorem, therefore it actually need not be discussed anymore. "The reason for this" is that (-𝐴 · -𝐵) = (𝐴 · 𝐵) for all complex numbers 𝐴 and 𝐵 because of mul2neg 11725, 𝐴 and 𝐵 are complex numbers because of nncn 12313, and (𝐴 · 𝐵) ∈ ℕ because of nnmulcl 12329. This also holds for positive reals, see rpmtmip 13116. Note that the opposites -𝐴 and -𝐵 of the positive integers 𝐴 and 𝐵 are negative integers. (Contributed by AV, 23-Dec-2022.)

Theorem	nnne0 12342	A positive integer is nonzero. See nnne0ALT 12346 for a shorter proof using ax-pre-mulgt0 11249. This proof avoids 0lt1 11808, and thus ax-pre-mulgt0 11249, by splitting ax-1ne0 11241 into the two separate cases 0 < 1 and 1 < 0. (Contributed by NM, 27-Sep-1999.)

Theorem	0nnnALT 12345	Alternate proof of 0nnn 12344, which requires ax-pre-mulgt0 11249 but is not based on nnne0 12342 (and which can therefore be used in nnne0ALT 12346). (Contributed by NM, 25-Aug-1999.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

5.4.3  Decimal representation of numbers The decimal representation of numbers/integers is based on the decimal digits 0 through 9 (df-0 11179 through df-9 12382), which are explicitly defined in the following. Note that the numbers 0 and 1 are constants defined as primitives of the complex number axiom system (see df-0 11179 and df-1 11180). With the decimal constructor df-dec 12785, it is possible to easily express larger integers in base 10. See deccl 12799 and the theorems that follow it. See also 4001prm 17285 (4001 is prime) and the proof of bpos 27584. Note that the decimal constructor builds on the definitions in this section. Note: The number 10 will be represented by its digits using the decimal constructor only, i.e., by ;10. Therefore, only decimal digits are needed (as symbols) for the decimal representation of a number. Integers can also be exhibited as sums of powers of 10 (e.g., the number 103 can be expressed as ((;10↑2) + 3)) or as some other expression built from operations on the numbers 0 through 9. For example, the prime number 823541 can be expressed as (7↑7) − 2. Decimals can be expressed as ratios of integers, as in cos2bnd 16324. Most abstract math rarely requires numbers larger than 4. Even in Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, the largest number used appears to be 12.
