What is an Integer?

Integers include all whole numbers and negative numbers. This means if we include negative numbers along with whole numbers, we form a set of integers.

Definition of Integers

An integer is a number with no decimal or fractional part and it includes negative and positive numbers, including zero. A few examples of integers are: -5, 0, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,043. A set of integers, which is represented as Z, includes:

• Positive Numbers: A number is positive if it is greater than zero. Example: 1, 2, 3 . . .
• Negative Numbers: A number is negative if it is less than zero. Example: -1, -2, -3 . . .
• Zero is defined as neither a negative number nor a positive number. It is a whole number.
