    1) "The term whole number does not have a consistent definition.The term 'whole numbers' means a set of collection of numbers including all Various authors use it in one of the following senses:
    - the nonnegative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
    - the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...)
    - all integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)."
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_number


    2) Only the first two definitions would lead to a clear definition of "the first 7 whole numbers".
    In the first definition, the product would be zero because one of the factors would be zero.

    In the second definition, we get:
    1 *2 *3 * 4 *5 *6 *7 *55 =
    2 *3 * 4 *5 *6 *7 *5 *11 =
    (2 *3 *6) *7 *11 *( 4 *5 *5)=
    36 * 77 *100 = 277200
