countably

Pronunciation: [ˈkaʊntəbli]

Word

Context: "mathematics"

(adverb) in a way that describes a set of things that can be counted. If something is countable, you can list it or assign a number to it, just like counting apples or toys.

Example

The collection of books is countably infinite, meaning we can count them one by one even though there are many.

Example

The number of stars in the galaxy is not countably infinite; it is too vast to count individually.

Example

Can we consider this group of animals to be countably infinite?
