what is any natural number and zero called
Zero is an even number, because it is divisible by 2 with no remainder. 0 is neither positive nor negative. By most definitions 0 is a natural number, and then the only natural number not to be positive. Zero is a number which quantifies a count or an amount of null size. In most cultures, 0 was identified before the idea of negative things, or quantities less than zero, was accepted. The value, or number, zero is not the same as the digit zero, used in numeral systems using positional notation.
Natural numbers are naturally used for counting apples (and other things) so they are sometimes called counting numbers. Even some animals other than humans can count and add, so they must be natural. Minus two apples isn't very natural so negative numbers are not included.
