Cardinal numbers (size) and ordinal numbers (ordering) are both numbers. The numbers we're familiar with represent both concepts, sometimes simultaneously.
I really don't think that block quoting ChatGPT is a good contribution.
A number is a mathematical concept used to represent a quantity or value. Numbers can be whole numbers (integers), fractions, decimals, or even complex numbers, and they are used in various mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
On the other hand, an ordinal is a term used to indicate the position or order of an element within a set or a sequence. Ordinals are generally expressed using words like first, second, third, or numerals with suffixes like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Ordinals are used to describe the rank or placement of an item in relation to others, rather than representing a specific quantity or value like numbers do.
In summary, numbers represent a quantity or value, while ordinals represent a position or rank in a sequence.
