Counting numbers are finite cardinal numbers, or in other words, natural numbers.
The smallest is 0.
There is no largest counting number, since for any number p, there is a number n, such as n > p, therefore, there is no number that is larger than all the other counting numbers. That concept is called infininty I guess.

Counting numbers are integers such as 1, 2, 3, ... The smallest counting number is usually considered to be 1. There is no largest counting number: for any counting number you might give me, I can give you back a larger one by simply adding 1 to it.
