Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers Cardinal numbers are counting numbers as, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…..etc are called Cardinal Numbers.  The cardinal numbers express the quantitative property of the numbers, ordinal numbers express their order. Cardinal numbers do not have a suffix tacked onto the end. Ordinal numbers are used to show the position. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th……are called ordinal numbers. Ordinal number indicated […]
