'''Quantity''' is a kind of property which exists as magnitude or multitude. It is among the basic classes of things along with [[quality]], [[substance]], [[change]], and [[relation]]. Quantity was first introduced as quantum, an entity having quantity. Being a fundamental term, quantity is used to refer to any type of quantitative properties or attributes of things.  Some quantities are such by their inner nature (as number), while others are functioning as states (properties, dimensions, attributes) of things such as heavy and light, long and short, broad and narrow, small and great, or much and little. A small quantity is sometimes referred to as a '''quantulum'''.
