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.

What else can I help you with?
Does every integer have an opposite?
An additive opposite, yes. A multiplicative one, no.
What is the oppostie of the opposite of an integer?
The opposite of an integer is its additive inverse, which means if the integer is ( x ), then its opposite is ( -x ). Therefore, the opposite of the opposite of an integer ( x ) would be ( -(-x) ), which simplifies back to ( x ). Thus, the opposite of the opposite of an integer is the integer itself.
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.
How do you know the opposite of a nonzero integer?
The opposite of a nonzero integer is found by changing its sign. For example, if you have a nonzero integer like +5, its opposite is -5. This relationship holds for any nonzero integer; the opposite will always be the same number with an inverted sign. Thus, the opposite of a nonzero integer ( x ) is simply ( -x ).
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.
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?
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).
What is the sum of an integer and its opposite integer will always be zero?
yes
What is the opposite of the integer?
-65
Is every integer a rational number or is every rational number an integer?
Every integer is a rational number.
Is every integer iratinal?
