This is related to the fact that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying with the number's reciprocal.
Whole numbers are the same as integers. Whole numbers are a proper subset of rational numbers.
One use is shorthand for large numbers, eg the mass of the earth is 5960000000000000000000000 kg , which can be expressed as: 5.96 * 1024 kg there are also rules for multiplying / dividing exponential numbers
Because multiplying is the inverse of dividing
The set of integers includes the set of whole numbers. The set of rational numbers includes the sets of whole numbers and integers.
This is related to the fact that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying with the number's reciprocal.
The answer is simplest form
No, it is not. It is factorising - which is more related to dividing.
Whole numbers and integers are the same. They are a proper subset of rational numbers.
Whole numbers are the same as integers. Whole numbers are a proper subset of rational numbers.
Both rational numbers and integers are subsets of the set of real numbers.
Multiplying is the opposite of dividing, whether it be using integers or other numbers and variables. Technically, multiplying and dividing integers is different, but the two processes are very strongly related to each other. For example, if one multiplies two and two together, one gets four as an answer. If one then divides four by two, one gets two. The multiplication of the 2 was reversed by the division of the 2.

There is no particular name for it. For example, the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic rays are related, but multiplying them by the same number, or dividing, makes no sense.
Both are subsets of the real numbers.
