How is adding integers similar to adding whole numbers?
Integers include 0, the negative numbers without fractional parts, and the positive numbers without fractional parts. The "without fractional parts" part of the description implies that all of the integers are whole numbers. Therefore, if you are adding integers, you are adding whole numbers.
Can integers be both positive and negative?
Yes. They just can't have fractional parts.
What is the use of decimal points?
It separates the place values with positive power of ten from those with negative powers of ten. In other words, it separates the whole part of numbers from their fractional parts.
Can rational numbers be integers and fractional parts of numbers?
Yes.
Has no fractional parts or decimal parts?
Integers or whole numbers
What are the parts of an integer?
There are 2 parts of integers Positive Integers and Negative Integers. 1:Positive Integers numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,................and onwards. 2:Negative Integers numbers are -1,-2,-3,-4,-5.........................and onwards.
Which counting numbers are also whole numbers?
All of the counting numbers are whole numbers. Counting numbers consist of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Whole numbers are numbers that have no fractional parts. Since none have fractional parts, they are all whole numbers.
How is comparing mixed numbers and whole numbers different?
Mixed numbers have fractional parts that must be compared; whole numbers do not.
What are the negative and positive parts of an atom?
positive: proton negative: electron neutral: neutron
What is the purpose of a decimal point in a decimal?
The purpose is to separate whole numbers from fractional parts of whole numbers.
Do atoms have positive and negative parts?
yes
What is it called if something is positive or negative?
Numbers that can be positive or negative include the integers, the rational numbers, the real numbers, and the complex numbers. All integers are rational numbers (numbers that can be written as a fraction, like 2/1), but most rational numbers are not integers -- like -1/2. (2/1, a rational, can be written as 2, an integer). The real numbers include all the rationals, plus many, many more numbers that can't be written as ratios or fractions, such as the square root of 2, pi, and the euler constant, e. As with the rational numbers and integers, there are as many negative real numbers as there are positive ones. Finally, we have the complex numbers. These include all of the real numbers, plus the roots of negative real numbers. Complex numbers are written in two parts -- a real part, plus an "imaginary" part (which is just as "real" as the real part, but is called "imaginary" for historical reasons). For example, 1 + i is a complex number with positive real and imaginary parts, while -1 - i is a complex number with negative real and imaginary parts. Positive and negative number systems are clearly very important in mathematics and in everyday life. They are all distinguished by the fact that they include magnitudes less than zero, as well as greater than zero (magnitudes of complex numbers are more complicated because complex numbers can have both positive and negative parts in one complex number!) There is also the term "non-zero" which refers to values that are positive or negative but not a value that is neither. It is a very important mathematical term since many functions (reciprocals, for example) can only have non-zero domains.
