potencia de numeros naturales
Explanation:
whole numbers son numeros naturales

integers son números enteros

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_number
The whole numbers are the nonnegative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integers
The integers consist of the positive natural numbers (1, 2, 3, …), their negatives (−1, −2, −3, ...) and the number zero

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/WholeNumber.html

Whole Numbers
Whole Numbers are simply the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … (and so on)


http://www.mathsisfun.com/whole-numbers.html
Natural Numbers
"Natural Numbers" can mean either "Counting Numbers" (1, 2, 3, etc), or "Whole Numbers" (0, 1, 2, 3, etc), there is disagreement on the definition.

Integers
Integers are like whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers ... but still no fractions allowed!
