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.
The smallest positive integer is 1. The largest negative integer is -1. 1 > -1
Negative 29 as a fraction can be written as -29/1. This is because any integer can be expressed as the integer over 1. In this case, -29 is the numerator and 1 is the denominator, indicating that the value is negative and not a fraction in the traditional sense.
The smallest positive factor of any positive integer is the number 1. If negative factors are allowed, the smallest factor is the negative of the absolute value of any integer.
The answer is -1. A negative integer is an integer to the left of zero on the number line. It is less than zero. So the greatest negative integer is -1.
