Solving for the third integer:
(a + b + c) / 3 = 37 (by the definition of "average")(18 + b + c) / 3 = 37 (assuming "a" is the least integer)

18 + b + c = 111

c = 111 - 18 - b (solving for the third integer)

c = 93 - b


Now, "b" must be at least 18, in which case:

c = 93 - 18 = 75


On the other hand, the largest "b" can be is when it is equal to "c" (since I am assuming that "c" is the largest integer):

c = 93 - b

c = 93 - c

2c = 93

c = 46.5

Adjusting the numbers a bit (since we need integers), in this case we get the numbers 18, 46, 47


Thus, the greatest integer can be anything in the range from 47 to 75.

if 18 is least then the middle integer has to be at least 19 and you calculate the greatest as 74.(18+19+Z) /3 = 37;18+19+ Z = 111Z = 74

Why is -1 the greatest negative integer?

There are no whole negative numbers greater than -1. Therefore, -1 is the highest negative whole integer. It can be thought of this way: When positive integers get larger, an amount is greater, but when negative integers get larger, the amount is less, so -1 is the greatest negative integer.

Is 0 the smallest integer?

No. Integers are positive and negative whole numbers (…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …). As there are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity (the greatest negative integer being -1), there can be no smallest (negative) integer.
