No. Whole numbers are counting numbers and zero.
Is a negative number an integer?
Integers are all of the real numbers that can be written without using a decimal or a fraction; i.e, they're the set of all positive and negative whole numbers plus zero.Integers have the following properties:i) 0 exists, and is the additive identity element; 0 + a = a for all a.ii) 1 exists, and is the multiplicative identity element; 1a = a for all a.iii) Addition and multiplication are both associative and commutative.iv) An additive inverse exists for all elements a, denoted as -a.v) Distributivity.vi) Adding or multiplying two integers yields another integer.From iv), we know that for each a > 0, there exists an additive inverse, -a, which must be less than 0, hence a negative number.So, there are integers that are negative numbers.But, not every negative number is an integer. There are negative numbers that must be expressed as a decimal or a fraction. For example, -0.5 isn't an integer, because, were you to not write it as a decimal, you would have to write it as a fraction: -1/2
What do you know about negative numbers?
What do I know about negative numbers? A lot.
Why do we have negative numbers?
We have negative numbers, because if there were no negative numbers, people wouldn't lose profit, they would always gain.
