A numeral is a symbol or group of symbols that represents a number. Numerals differ from numbers just as words differ from the things they refer to. For example, the symbols "11", "eleven" and "XI" are different numerals, all representing the same number.

A number = 1. A roman numeral = III which = 3.

Johnasks is incorrect.. a whole number is called an integer. A number is something with a numeric value... "numeral" is an adjective describing something as having a property or quality of numbers.

Ah! Excellent question! The number is the idea you get in your head, kind of like seeing a shell here, a shell there, and another one over there and you think "3". It can be represented by a numeral (what we think of as the number) as a symbol of that thought. It can also be thought of as 3 hash marks, 3 dots, 3 shells, a trio of objects. etc. Does this make any kind of sense?

Without looking it up, I'd say numerals are the actual written symbols for the numbers.

A "number" is an amount. A "numeral" is the symbol that is used to represent it. Hope that helps!
