The opposite value
To find the opposite value of an integer, you simply change it to negative if it is positive, or change it to positive if it is negative. This is the additive inverse.
Another opposite value
To find the opposite value of an integer, you simply make it the denominator of a fraction and use 1 for the numerator. This is the multiplicative inverse.
An opposite view
There isn't really an opposite of an integer - there are many types of numbers that aren't integers.
An integer is a 'whole number' - like 6, -5, or 1029687.
Another type of number is a rational number, also known as a 'fraction' or 'decimal'. Examples would be 3.4, 5 1/2, -8.9925.
Then there are irrational numbers, which are numbers that can't be written as a fraction, and when you write them as a decimal they go on infinitely without a repeating pattern. Examples are the numbers pi (which is approximately equal to 3.14159), e (approx. equal to 2.71828).
Then there are imaginary numbers, which are equal to the square root of a negative number. The basic imaginary number is i, which is equal to the square root of -1.
