Are all numerical monoids finitely generated? My intuition agrees with the statement, but I cannot formulate a proof.

Hi, I'm just reading over the resources. I don't quite understand what a unit of $M$ is. Can someone explain?

What I've tried so far:
I've tried to consider a few cases in the set N ( positive integers) and showed that it was true. I then moved on to show that this is true for k integers in each set.

<Describe what you have tried so far here. That way, we can do a better job helping you!>

Where I'm stuck:
I don't know how I can prove that the statement is true for any set S.

<Describe what's confusing you, or what your question is here!>
