We say set $A$ is **equinumerous** to set $B$, written ($A \approx B$) if and only if there exists a [[set/functions#Injections|one-to-one]] function from $A$ [[set/functions#Surjections|onto]] $B$.
* if $A \approx B$ and $B \approx C$, then $A \approx C$.
Notice though that $\{ \langle A, B \rangle \mid A \approx B \}$ is *not* an equivalence relation since the equivalence concept of equinumerosity concerns *all* sets.

Concisely state the equivalence concept of equinumerosity in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
Back: For all sets $A$, $B$, and $C$:
* $A \approx A$;
* $A \approx B \Rightarrow B \approx A$;
* $A \approx B \land B \approx C \Rightarrow A \approx C$
