The smallest number in the world?

There is no such number. There are two possible interpretations of the question: the smallest number being the most negative or the one with the smallest absolute value. In the first case, negative numbers, like positive numbers go on forever. One less than the previous smallest will always be smaller. In the second case, numbers are infinitely dense. So for positive fractions, half of the previous smallest will be smaller still.

How are negative integers used in the real world?

Whenever you have two opposites, you can use positive number for one, and negative numbers for the other. For example: * Having money might be positive, owing money might be negative (owing money is worse than just having nothing). * Getting money might be a positive change; spending money (or otherwise losing it), a negative change. * Places above sea level might be assigned a positive altitude; places below sea level, a negative altitude. * If latitudes north of the equator are defined as positive, then latitudes south of the equator would be negative. Or the other way round.
