In mathematics, whole numbers are non-negative integers starting from zero and extending indefinitely in the positive direction. Therefore, -8 is not considered a whole number because it is a negative integer. Whole numbers include 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, but do not include negative numbers like -1, -2, -3, and so forth.

Yes, 8 is a whole number. A half number would be 2.5. Any number without a decimal is a whole number. If it has a decimal in the number, like .5, then it is a number with part of a number.
