What is greatest negative number?
There is no greatest negative number. The greatest negative integer is -1.
Is there a greatest negative integer?
Yes, there is a greatest negative integer. It is -1 because -1 is the only negative number before 0 and negative numbers are the opposite of positive numbers.
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 the product of a negative and positive integer a negative?
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
What is the product of greatest negative integer and smallest positive integer?
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
What is the greatest negative even integer?
-2 is the greatest negative even integer.
What is greatest negative number?

Why -1 is the greatest integer?
It is not - so the question is seriously flawed. If you stated that -1 was the greatest (most positive) negative integer you would be correct. However, numbers are infinite so you cannot state a greatest integer. Integers are both positive and negative numbers, but have to be whole numbers
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.
How many integers are there in the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer?
Infinitely many in both cases.
What is eight more than twice the greatest negative integer?
Infinity
What is the quotient of a negative integer and a negative integer?
a negative integer
Is the product of a negative and positive integer a negative?
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
What is the smallest negative integers?
The set of negative integers is {-1, -2, -3, ...}. The greatest negative integer is -1. From there the numbers progress toward negative infinity. There are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity. So there is no smallest negative integer. -1
