A number answer can be correctly solved by whatever numbers happen to solve it, with no restrictions as to what type of numbers they may be: fractional, rational, real, etc. An integer answer requires that the result be expressed only as an integer, which is a positive or negative whole number (including zero). As such, integer answers are a subset of number answers.
