A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction, and it cannot be represented as a single integer or whole number. In the set of integers, only whole numbers and their negative counterparts are included. Similarly, in the set of whole numbers, only positive integers and zero are included. Mixed numbers do not fit into either of these categories.
