what is a finite set? give me some examples.

Hi!

Here is the answer to your question.

 

A set is called a finite set if it is either an empty set or its elements can be listed or counted by natural numbers 1, 2, 3,…and the process of listing terminates at a certain natural number.

Example:

1. Consider the set of even prime natural numbers, A = {2}.

It has only one element. This element can be counted. So, the set of even prime natural numbers is a finite set.

Here, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}. Number of elements in the set can be counted i.e. it has four elements. Therefore, B is a finite set.

 

Cheers!
