Numbers
Numbers are our way to quantify, label, and organize the world around us in a logical manner. However, the systems used to obtain this goal differ geographically, historically, and by relative utility. All questions pertaining to numbers, including historic labeling systems, bases of numerical systems, constants, and the various ways they're grouped together, should be placed into this category.

What were the arguments against the existence of negative numbers?
Essentially that while you could clearly see (or imagine) 3 apples, seeing or even imagining -3 apples was not possible. It was a reflection of poor imagination!
317 is a prime number having only two factors which are itself and one
What makes up a real number system?
The real number system is a mathematical field.
To start with, the Real number system is a Group. This means that it is a set of elements (numbers) with a binary operation (addition) that combines any two elements in the set to form a third element which is also in the set. The Group satisfies four axioms: closure, associativity, identity and invertibility.
In addition, it is a Ring. A ring is an Abelian group (that is, addition is commutative) and it has a second binary operation (multiplication) that is defined on its elements. This second operation is distributive over the first.
And finally, a Field is a Ring over which division - by non-zero numbers - is defined.
There are several mathematical terms above which have been left undefined to keep the answer to a manageable size. All these algebraic structures are more than a term's worth of studying. You can find out more about them using Wikipedia but be sure to select the hit that has "mathematical" in it!
That isn't possible.

Eight billion, one hundred forty-six million, eight hundred six thousand, eight hundred thirty-five
What is June 1st 2013 using only nine letters and no numbers?

What is the meaning of the number sets?
A number set is simply a collection of numbers. The numbers in a set need not share any property whatsoever - the only requirement is that they are all numbers.
What is seven thousand two hundred and three in figures?
Expressed in figures, this is equal to 720,003.
How do you convert octal to binary with 2 decimal nos?
The conversion of octal number to binary can be obtained by using two methods. First, it can be converted into decimal and then obtained decimal is converted into binary. In the second method
2500 is a composite number. A prime number has exactly 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. All even numbers greater than 2 (numbers ending in 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0) are composites because they have more than 2 factors.
How do you determine number of decimals in the product of two numbers?
Consider the numbers A and B where A has m digits after the decimal point and B has n digits.
Then find the multiple A'*B' where A' is A without its decimal point, and B' is B without its decimal point.
In that answer insert the decimal point so that there are (m+n) digits after the decimal point.
