The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers. Integers are the natural numbers plus zero plus the negative ( or opposite ) natural numbers. Why do we need negative natural numbers ? For one thing x + 1 = 0 is an equation whose solution is x = -1. We could not solve this equation if we did not have negative integers. So over history these negative numbers came about as a way to solve certain math problems. The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers.

The opposite of the integer 2 is -2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is found by changing its sign. Therefore, while 2 is a positive integer, -2 is its negative counterpart.
What is the opposite of a positive integer?
a negative integer or a fraction (as in 1/integer) or a negative fraction (as in -1/integer).
Does every integer have an opposite?
An additive opposite, yes. A multiplicative one, no.
Is the opposite of an integer an integer?
yes. the opposite of a positive integer is the same except negative and vice versa ( ex: the opposite integer of -6 is 6. if you multiply them, it equals zero)
Is the absolute value of every integer its opposite?
No. The absolute simply returs the positive of any integer. ABS(6) = 6 and ABS(-6) = 6.
Is the quotient of an integer and its opposite always positive?
the quotient of an integer and its opposite is never negative.
What integer is the opposite of -6?
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
What is the opposite word for the integer number?
A non-integer.
What is the opposite of the integer 2?
