An n-tuple (x1,...,xn) is an ordered list of n sets. It can be constructed in several ways. A popular definition is the original set x1 for n=1 and the ordered pair ((x1,...,xn-1),xn) otherwise.
Klick on the ordered pair ( 462, 231 ) or the natural number 70 to see how it may be defined as a set.
(462, 231, 70) = ( ( 462, 231 ), 70 )
