Best Answer

A number lower than zero. Also called a negative number. A "minus number" is the incorrect term for a negative number. Anegative number is a number that comes before zero (0) (ex: -1). It's value is less than that off zero and the larger the number is, the less the value becomes. Though it seems odd, -4 has more numerical value than -476 because -476 is farther away from zero.
