-6 is less than -4 since it is more negative

The greatest even integer less than 2 is 0, and the smallest even integer greater than 1 is 2. Therefore, the sum of these two integers is 0 + 2, which equals 2.
It can be greater than, equal or less than the original integer. There are three possible values for the second integer: It is positive, in which case the result will be less than the original integer, eg 5 - 2 = 3 and 3 < 5;It is zero, in which case the result will be the same as the original integer, eg 5 - 0 = 5 and 5 = 5;It is negative, in which case the result will be greater than the original integer, eg 5 - -2 = 7 and 7 > 5.

A counterexample to the statement "the difference of two integers is less than either integer" can be demonstrated with the integers 5 and 3. The difference is (5 - 3 = 2). Here, 2 is not less than either integer, as it is less than 5 but greater than 3. Thus, this example shows that the difference can be less than one integer but not the other.

The integer greater than -3 and less than 2 is -2. This is because it is the largest integer that is greater than -3 but still less than 2. In the number line, -2 falls between -3 and 2.

Subtract any POSITIVE integer from -2, and you get an integer that is smaller.

Every irrational number, every rational number which is not an integer and every integer less than 2 falls into this category.
