We know that one of these numbers is a whole number, but we don't know what kind of number the other is, so this statement doesn't tell us anything. We can make different assumptions about the first number, though, and make conclusions that way.

Let X be the first number of unknown type, and Y be the whole number, "whole number" meaning the subset {0, 1, 2, 3, …} of the integers. Then:

  • if Y is an integer (any element of the set {…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …}, then the product of X and Y is an integer.
  • if X is a negative integer, the product of X and Y is a negative integer or 0 (which would happen when Y is 0).
  • if X is 0, the product of X and Y is 0.
  • if X is a non-integer rational number, and this rational number can be expressed with a denominator equal to Y, then the product of X and Y is the numerator of X. For example, if X is 20/4 and Y is 4, the product of the two is 20.

You can make other rules like this for other situations.
