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 ( 518, 370 ) or the natural number 52 to see how it may be defined as a set.
(518, 370, 52) = ( ( 518, 370 ), 52 )
