BeauThe 5-digit negative number furthest from zero would be -99999. In a 5-digit number, the leftmost digit represents the largest place value, so by having the digit "9" in each place, we create the number with the greatest magnitude. Since it is negative, the number is furthest from zero on the negative side of the number line.

A number less than zero?
any negative number is less than zero
Why is a negative number less than a positive number?
A negative number is defined as a number that is less than zero. Positive numbers, on the other hand, are more than zero. You can see that positive numbers are greater than negative numbers because they are all above zero, which negative numbers are not.
Less than zero?
Anything less than zero would be a negative number.
Is 50 prime or composite?
The number 50 is composite. Any two-digit (or more-digit) number that ends in zero can be divided evenly by 10 (and 5 and 2, for that matter). That means no two- or more-digit number ending in 0 can be prime.
How can you understand negatives in algebra better?
A negative number is a real number that is less than zero. If one of the addends has a negative number, by means of number line, the point will move to the left to the corresponding value of a negative number.
