"Eins ist eine Nummer."
Translation:One is a number.

"Nummer" is used when the number is part of an organized collection of numbers, like a phone number. "Zahl" is used when you just have a number, like an integer in math. The sentence above should probably be "eins ist eine Zahl."
To WolfStriker1: I think 'Zahl' would be equivalent to the English word 'digit' (numbers from zero to nine). Am I correct? I am waiting for your answer. Greetings. May 10, 2016.
Integer (whole numbers only) = Ganze Zahl
Digit (911 has 3 digits) = Zahlzeichen
Numeral (0-9) = Ziffer
Number (nominal, i.e. for identification) = Nummer
Number (mathematical, including fractions; rational, irrational imaginary numbers) = Zahl
Yes. Based on those premises, it would seem that the better sentence would be "Eins is eine Zahl."
So in English, it would be 'numeral, digit' for Zahl and 'number' for Nummer?
Untuk orang Indonesia, Zahl = 'angka' dan Nummer = 'nomor', bener gak?

The numeral 1 is Eins.
Ein/eine/etc. is the indefinite article and means "a/an" or "one (of something)”.
You would use Eins when doing mathematics, or reading out a telephone number. But if you would ask for "One beer please!" you would use Ein.
No, die natürlichen Zahlen are the 'natural numbers', i.e. the positive integers that can be used for counting: 1, 2, 3, etc.
'Nummer' is feminine, therefore 'eine' is the appropriate indefinite article. And remember to capitalize your nouns.
Eins is the number 1. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eins It is special as it is considered a cardinal number and is only used for counting or math.
The number 1 when used for counting or in math is "eins" http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang07.htm
The article ein/ein/eine/eine (masculine/neuter/feminine/plural) means "a", "an", or "one" as describing a noun. http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang03.htm
Please express why this sentence does not make sense. It makes perfect sense to me.
the thing confused me with the first translation of eins being a so I accidentlly wrote "a is a number" -_-
in computers: "1" - String (str) 1 - Integer (number) (int) 1 - (1 or 0) Boolean (true) (Bool)

In Deutschland sagen wir immer, eins ist eine Zahl. Nummer und Ziffer sind eher speziell.
Je nach Kontext sind alle drei möglich. Aber ohne einen solchen würde ich auch "eins ist eine Zahl" für das Normalste halten.
Ich hatte zuerst einen inzwischen gelöschten Kommentar gelesen, der für "Nummer" als Normalform plädierte, und dann nicht genau hingesehen und dir das ebenfalls unterstellt. Ich habe meinen Irrtum aber sofort gesehen und meinen Kommentar entsprechend abgeändert.
If it is not qualifying a noun but as a single number standing alone, you always use the form "eins" (the neuter declinated nominative (and accusative) form).

La lalalalaa ..♪♪ here's my number ♪♫. I just love that song. Sadly it has no bearing on the sentence: One is a number.
