Yes. Whole numbers, or integers, include both positive and negative numbers; any number that has no decimals or fractional part.

What do integers allow you to do that whole numbers do not?

The term "whole numbers" is ambiguous; it may refer either to integers, or only to positive integers (perhaps including zero). The set of integers is closed under subtraction, that means, you can subtract any number from any other number. This is not possible in the set of counting numbers (non-negative integers).


What is a nonzero whole number that can be evenly divided into that number?

Any non-zero whole number can be evenly divided into itself. If n is a whole number, n/n = 1. In fact, 0 is the only number, whole or not, for which this is not true. Additionally, 'whole number' is a vague term. It can refer to non-zero positive integers, positive integers including zero, or all integers depending entirely on the meaning of the person using the term.
