Explanation A finite set is a set that is either empty or in one-to-one correspondence with the set { 1 , 2 , 3 , ...... , n } of the first n natural numbers, for some n ∈ N . | A | = | B | implies that one-to-one correspondence exists between sets A and B and thus there exists one-to-one onto function from A to B
