A negative number is any real number that is less than zero. Such numbers are often used to represent the amount of a loss or absence. For example, a debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset, or a decrease in some quantity may be thought of as a negative increase. Negative numbers are also used to describe values on a scale that goes below zero, such as the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales for temperature.

Yes they have to be whole numbers. They can be negative though, but they have to be whole.
What is the definition of a negative root?
Negative numbers cannot be rooted. As it can be seen on a calculator when -25 is rooted is says error. Only positive numbers can be rooted. If it resulted in a negative try going over the problem.

What numbers are included in integers but not in whole numbers?
There is no single commonly accepted definition for "whole numbers". Depending on the definition used, zero, as well as negative integers (like -1, -2, etc.) may, or may not, be considered part of the "whole numbers".
Can integer be negative fractions?
No, integers cannot be negative fractions. Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, but they do not include fractional or decimal components. Negative fractions, on the other hand, are rational numbers that represent parts of a whole, which is distinct from the definition of integers.
Is Negative 1 a natural number?
No, negative one is not a natural number. Natural numbers are defined as the set of positive integers starting from 1, which includes 1, 2, 3, and so on. Negative numbers, including negative one, fall outside this definition.
Are negative integers considered whole numbers?
It depends. Some authors consider "Whole Numbers" to be the positive integers, some consider them to be the non-negative integers, and some consider them to be all integers. For the first two definitions, numbers like -3 would not be considered "whole numbers". With the last definition, negative numbers like -3 would be considered a "whole number".
Why can't a negative number be rational?
A negative number can indeed be rational. A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. For example, -3/4 and -2 are both negative rational numbers. Thus, negative numbers can be rational as long as they fit this definition.
What are the negative GCF of 980?
A couple of problems. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF and the GCF is by definition positive.
