Is a whole number also an integer?
Yes, a whole number is in fact an integer.... For an example, 4 is a whole number as well as a positive integer....
Why are whole numbers not irrational?
Because any whole number, k, can be expressed in the form k/1 which is a ratio of two integers. Since it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers it is a rational number.
Can a whole number be rational numbers?
Yes, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Whole numbers is a slightly ambiguous term but usually means either positive integers, or all integers (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...) A whole number can be rational because 4 is a whole number and it can also be expressed as the ratio of two integers, in this case 4 and 1 example: 4 = 4/1 = 8/2 = 4
Why sum of two integers is an integer?
because an integer is a whole number. So the product must be a whole number.
Why is the sum of a fraction and a whole number not a whole number?
Look at it the other way - by reverting the operation. The reason it is not a whole number is because if it where, then the subtraction of two integers would be a fraction! If a + b = c (a is a non-integer fraction, b and c are integers), then c - b = a. You would have a fraction as a result of subtracting two integers. However, adding or subtracting two integers always gives you an integer.

Why sum of two integers is an integer?
because an integer is a whole number. So the product must be a whole number.
Why is the Sum of two integers still an integer?
Because an integer is a whole number and the sum of any two or more whole numbers is always a whole number.
The difference of two integers is always an integer?
Yes, the difference between two integers is always a whole number.

What are two consecutive integers whose sum equals -30.03?
Integers are whole numbers therefore it follows that two consecutive integers can't result into a decimal number
What two consecutive integers together equal 25?
An integer is a whole number. The two consecutive integers that equal 25 are 12 and 13.
Is a positive improper fraction always a whole number?
No. It can be a number between two positive integers.
When are whole numbers integers?
Always. "Whole number" and "integer" are two different names for the same thing.
What does quotient of two integers mean?
an integer is any whole number for example 1, -1, 72, -72 the quotient is the answer to a division problem so the quotient of 2 integers is one whole number divided by another whole number
