Infinitely many in both cases.
A decimal can be a positive integer or a negative integer or neither of the above. For example: 26.0 is a positive integer. -52.0 is a negative integer. 26.2 is not an integer at all. 0.0 is an integer, but is neither positive nor negative.
No, if a negative integer is multiplied by a positive integer, the product is negative. However, if both of the integers are either positive or negative, the product is positive.
No. Integers are positive and negative whole numbers (…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …). As there are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity (the greatest negative integer being -1), there can be no smallest (negative) integer.
There are no whole negative numbers greater than -1. Therefore, -1 is the highest negative whole integer. It can be thought of this way: When positive integers get larger, an amount is greater, but when negative integers get larger, the amount is less, so -1 is the greatest negative integer.
No, a negative integer cannot be greater than a positive integer. By definition, negative integers are to the left of zero on the number line, while positive integers are to the right. Since all negative integers are less than zero, they are always less than any positive integer. Thus, negative integers are always smaller than positive integers.
* The quotient of two positive integers or two negative integers is positive. * The quotient of a positive integer and a negetive integer is negetive.
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
They are simply positive integers
It is not - so the question is seriously flawed. If you stated that -1 was the greatest (most positive) negative integer you would be correct. However, numbers are infinite so you cannot state a greatest integer. Integers are both positive and negative numbers, but have to be whole numbers
No. Just like positive integers, negative integers stretch out to infinity. There will never be a least negative integer.
No. Adding negative integers will result in an integer that is more negative.
