In mathematics, the extended natural numbers is a set which contains the values and (infinity). That is, it is the result of adding a maximum element to the natural numbers. Addition and multiplication work as normal for finite values, and are extended by the rules (), and for .
With addition and multiplication, is a semiring but not a ring, as lacks an additive inverse.[1] The set can be denoted by , or .[2][3][4] It is a subset of the extended real number line, which extends the real numbers by adding and .[2]
