That's trivially true.

When I was a student we spent one rainy afternoon working
out what numbers we could get from our calculators using
only the unitary buttons, starting fom 0 and never touching
another number afterwards.

It took a dozen maths students twenty minutes to work
out how to generate all the integers, then we went after
the rationals.
