The Jain upanga āgama Surya Prajnapti (c. 400 BC) classifies all numbers into three sets: enumerable, innumerable, and infinite.

Cardinal numbers define the size of sets, meaning how many members they contain, and can be standardized by choosing the first ordinal number of a certain size to represent the cardinal number of that size. The smallest ordinal infinity is that of the positive integers, and any set which has the cardinality of the integers is countably infinite.

[3] Similarly, "almost all" can mean "all (elements of an uncountable set) except for countably many". [sec 1] Examples: Almost all positive integers are greater than 10 12 ...
