Discusses an in-depth understanding of various types of numbers, such as natural numbers, integers, and irrational numbers, as well as the mathematical properties that underlie number operations. The research method used is the library method by collecting data from various sources to provide rich insight into the relationship between philosophy and mathematics in the context of the concept of number. The results confirm the importance of the contribution of philosophy in defining, enriching, and developing the concept of number in mathematics
