Is every integer greater than -1 is a whole number?
Any number that is not a fraction, percent, decimal, or negative is a whole number. Counting numbers are whole numbers. Counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Zero is a whole number. So yes, every integer greater then negative one is a whole number, and so is -1 and every integer less than -1.
Why every irrational number is also a rational number but not every rational number is a natural number?
Every irrational number is NOT a rational number. For example, sqrt(2) is irrational but not rational. A natural number is a counting number or a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, etc. A rational number is one that can be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers, which may be positive or negative. So, -2 is a rational number but not a counting number (it is an integer, though). Also, 2/3 is a rational number but not a whole, counting number or a natural number.
What is the difference between a whole and a natural number?
A natural number is a positive counting number, ie, 0 1 2 3 4. -1 -2 -3 and -4 are whole numbers but cannot be natural numbers as they are negative.
Is 100 a counting number?
Yes. The counting numbers are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...}. Any positive whole amount is a counting number.
Is negative less than any whole number?
Not necessarily. -5 is a whole number. Negative 2 is not less than -5.
If we mutiply one integer by another integer that is a whole number but not a counting number What is the product?
The product is an integer that may or may not be a counting number.All integers are whole numbers.The counting numbers are {1, 2, 3, ...}The integers are the counting numbers along with 0 and the negative counting numbers, ie {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}The product of two of these is an integer that will be:a negative counting number {..., -3, -2, -1} - the first integer is a counting number, the second is a negative counting numberzero {0} - either, or both, number is zeroa counting number {1, 2, 3, ...} both integers are negative counting numbers.
Is every integer greater than -1 is a whole number?
Any number that is not a fraction, percent, decimal, or negative is a whole number. Counting numbers are whole numbers. Counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Zero is a whole number. So yes, every integer greater then negative one is a whole number, and so is -1 and every integer less than -1.
How are counting and whole numbers the same?
They are not. Counting numbers are a proper subset of whole numbers. Negative integers (-1, -2, -3 etc) are whole numbers but they are not counting numbers.
What do a whole number means?
To my understand you are asking what a whole number is. A whole number is any number that does not have an exponent, is not negative, or possess a decimal. A whole number is 0-Infinity=====================================Answer #2:If you start counting, from "one" then "two" then "three", then all of the numbersyou name are whole numbers.
Why every irrational number is also a rational number but not every rational number is a natural number?
Every irrational number is NOT a rational number. For example, sqrt(2) is irrational but not rational. A natural number is a counting number or a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, etc. A rational number is one that can be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers, which may be positive or negative.

What is the difference between a whole and a natural number?
A natural number is a positive counting number, ie, 0 1 2 3 4. -1 -2 -3 and -4 are whole numbers but cannot be natural numbers as they are negative.
What is the difference of whole number to counting number?
Counting numbers are the numbers we use to count with (one, two, three, five hundred thirty-six, etc.) Whole numbers include the counting numbers but also include the negative integers (numbers like -1, -2, -3, -536, etc.) and zero.
Is 100 a counting number?
Yes. The counting numbers are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...}. Any positive whole amount is a counting number.
Multiply one integer by another integer that is a whole number but not a counting number what is the product?
Integers are whole numbers such as: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Counting numbers are whole numbers such as: 1, 2, 3, 4, ... So the product can be a whole positive number or zero. Example: (-2)(-3)= 6 (-2)(0) = 0
Is negative less than any whole number?
Not necessarily. -5 is a whole number. Negative 2 is not less than -5.
Give an example of an integer that is not a natural number?
Natural numbers are the counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... Integers are positive and negative counting numbers, and zero. So, an integer that is not a counting number could be 0 or any negative integer.
Is negative 12 a natural number?
No. The natural numbers are the counting numbers 1, 2, 3, ...
