positive number

Greater than nothing

A positive number is any number greater than zero.

It may be written with a plus sign (+5) but usually appears without one, since positivity is assumed unless otherwise indicated.

Positive numbers contrast with negative numbers (less than zero) and zero itself, which is neither positive nor negative.
