    What you’re probably thinking of is Ordinal numbers.

    As for your second question, I don’t think any “last number” could exist unless we explicitly declared one. And even then… I’m not sure what utility there would be in declaring a “last number”.

      I mean, whoever gets to declare a “last number” that works certainly will get some bragging rights. After all, you can only ever declare one.

      …Right?
