editI'm updating the caption for the image. D Lazard if you don't like this you can keep reverting me to your own satisfaction. And maybe you will win over me but eventually the truth will prevail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.227.223.203 (talk) 10:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Title - should it be Numbers rather than Number
editJust "Number" feels a bit strange - in the rest of the article, the word "Numbers" is used much more often Jhadden23 (talk) 14:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- No. Per WP:SINGULAR, the title should not be pluralized. Since there are many such objects (numbers), referring to them in the plural is common.—Anita5192 (talk) 15:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

editBefore reference 4, you have “ (and its combinations with real numbers by adding or subtracting its multiples).” It should be “(and it's combinations with real number by adding or subtracting it's multiples).” PP3CATWSPofficial (talk) 09:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- No: this text correctly uses the pronoun "its" (meaning "of it"), which does not contain an apostrophe. It's would be an abbreviation for "it is combinations" or possibly "it has combinations", which are not the intended meaning here. Certes (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, you are right. I confused it with another rule, sorry! PP3CATWSPofficial (talk) 10:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
