It depends. Some authors consider "Whole Numbers" to be the positive integers, some consider them to be the non-negative integers, and some consider them to be all integers.
For the first two definitions, numbers like -3 would not be considered "whole numbers".
With the last definition, negative numbers like -3 would be considered a "whole number".
The answer below is incomplete.The set of whole numbers also includes all negative integers.
Positive and negative whole numbers and zero are integers. Zero is neither negative or positive.
An integer. Integers are all of the whole numbers, all of the negative whole numbers, and zero.
Yes. Alternative answer: No, -1 is not a whole number. The whole numbers are 0 and the positive integers, but do not include negative integers.
Integers include 0, the negative numbers without fractional parts, and the positive numbers without fractional parts. The "without fractional parts" part of the description implies that all of the integers are whole numbers. Therefore, if you are adding integers, you are adding whole numbers.
Yes, negative numbers are considered integers. The set of integers includes all whole numbers, both positive and negative, as well as zero. Therefore, integers encompass numbers like -3, -1, 0, 1, 2, and so on.
No, integers are positive and negative whole numbers
Integers include all whole numbers as well as their negative counterparts. Therefore, negative integers such as -1, -2, and -3 are examples of integers that are not whole numbers. Whole numbers, on the other hand, consist only of non-negative integers, including zero and positive integers.
Actually the set of integers is the same as the set of whole numbers since the whole numbers include negative whole numbers and zero.
Yes, whole numbers are a subset of the set of integers. Whole numbers include all non-negative integers, which are 0 and the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...). Integers, on the other hand, include both positive and negative whole numbers as well as zero. Therefore, while all whole numbers are integers, not all integers are whole numbers.
No, whole numbers are defined as non-negative integers.
Integers
Integers
Integers can be negative.
Only whole numbers are integers, whether negative or positive.
No; integers are whole numbers.
Two integers that are not whole numbers are -1 and -2. Whole numbers are defined as non-negative integers, which include 0 and positive integers. Since -1 and -2 are negative, they do not fall under the category of whole numbers.
