What is an example of a counterexample for the difference of two whole numbers is a whole number?

There is no counterexample because the set of whole numbers is closed under addition (and subtraction).


Which number is the quotient?

A quotient is the answer when you divide 2 numbers. For example if you divide 72 by 3, you get 24 as a quotient.


What is any number that cannot be written as quotient of two numbers?

There are no such numbers since any number can be written as a quotient of itself and 1. For example, pi = pi/1


What number would be a counterexample to the following conjecture Prime numbers are odd?

2 would be a counterexample to the conjecture that prime numbers are odd. 2 is a prime number but it is the only even prime number.


What is a quotient?

A quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. If we divide one number into another number, the result is the quotient. It might be argued that the quotient is the ratio of two numbers, but what has been stated applies.


Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers never a rational number?

The quotient of two nonzero integers is the definition of a rational number. There are nonzero numbers other than integers (imaginary, rational non-integers) that the quotient of would not be a rational number. If the two nonzero numbers are rational themselves, then the quotient will be rational. (For example, 4 divided by 2 is 2: all of those numbers are rational).


What is a number that can be written as a quotient of 2 positive or negative numbers?

Any positive number can be written as a quotient of two positive numbers or a quotient of two negative numbers. Any real number can be written as the quotient of two real numbers.


What is a counterexample to the statement all prime numbers are odd?

2 is a prime number.


The qoutient of a number and 21?

The quotient of a number and 21 is the result obtained when you divide the number by 21. For example, if you divide 42 by 21, you get a quotient of 2. If you divide 63 by 21, you get a quotient of 3. And so on. The quotient can be an integer or a decimal number, depending on the numbers you’re dividing.


If the quotient of two numbers is an integer then both number must be integers?

No, it is not necessary for both numbers to be integers for their quotient to be an integer. For example, if you divide a rational number by another rational number that shares a common factor, the result can still be an integer. For instance, ( \frac{4.0}{2.0} = 2 ), where both numbers are not integers but the quotient is an integer. However, if both numbers are integers, their quotient will also be an integer if the numerator is divisible by the denominator.
