Integers

Question 1

What is an Integer and give examples as to what it is and what it isn’t.

Answer 1

An Integer is a negative number, natural number or whole number. A negative number includes a minus symbol before a number, the number 0 Is not included within the negative number bracket.
A natural number includes any number above 0 ranging from 1- an infinite amount of numbers. Lastly Whole numbers include anything above negative numbers meaning 0 and other natural numbers are used. So to sum up integers include all three of those different sections, they include negative, whole and natural.

Question 2

Give a number-example for an integer.

Answer 2

If I added two integers together I would add -35 + 0, which would equal -35 because zero can’t shift the answer lower or higher when in addition, multiplication, subtraction or division.
If I added two numbers together that weren’t integers, they could be 2.2 +1.2 which would equal 3.3.
