Besides the fact of being positive and odd integers, what do 997 and 1003 have in common?

Both are rational numbers

Both are Natural numbers

Both numbers are at the same distance of 1000

|1000-1003| = |997-1000|

Step-by-step explanation:

Both numbers have several things in common.

Both are rational numbers since they can be written as whole number fractions:

1003 = 1003/1

997 = 997/1

Both are Natural numbers, since they are non-negative integers.

Also both numbers are at the same distance of 1000.

| 997 - 1000 | = 3

| 1000-1003 | = 3
