There are infinite natural numbers.

There are infinite multiples of 2.

There are infinite multiples of 5.

There are infinite multiples of 1,834,653.

You can take each of those multiples and repeat the same operation on each of them and get a new infinite amount of natural numbers, and you can do the same thing on any of those multiples with any other natural number, ad infinitum

Can you list them? You can't? That's what I thought.

Not sure what point you're making brother. I hope you do. Yeah, infinite numbers are weird, though you'll find that there will be some overlap in your sets. Wait till you hear about irrationals or any of the other fun flavors of numbers mathematicians are minting. Anyway, now what?

*yawn*, sure there are. I've never seen an infinite amount of anything personally.
>>
>>16998899
numbers arent real so that means nothing.
>>
>>16999099
Correct. They're a concept. You can have two of something, but there is no inherent two-ness in things. You'll never find 3-stuff, but you can have some physical objects in a 2:1 ratio making 3 "parts". Numbers are not real tangible objects, but they still provide much utility as concepts.
>>
>>16998899
Theoretically yes. Physically no.
>>
>>16998899
are these "numbers" in the room with you now?
>>
>>16998901
This is not the own you think it is
