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.

What is positive whole number?

A positive number is one above zero, and a whole number is just that - whole - with no decimals or fractions and can be either positive or negative. An example of a positive whole number is 1, 2, 3, etc.


Is the product of a fraction less than one and a whole number less than or greater than the whole number?

It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2


Is every whole number positive?

No, a whole number can either be an even or odd number as long as it doesn't contain a fraction.Whole Numbers: 1, 2, 874687, 99, 681444NOT Whole Numbers: 1/2, 9/85, .55454---Yeah, but the question is asking if every whole number is a positive, not odd. So, yes all whole numbers are positive. If every whole number isn't positive that is saying that every whole number is an integer. Integers include positive and negative numbers and 0 on the number line. Whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3,... and Natural numbers are 1, 2, 3,... Integers are...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,....

What is a hole number?

a positive number without any decimals like 5, 10, 55546. a WHOLE number is defined as A number that doesn't contain a fraction. A whole number is an integer which has 1 or more units and can be positive or negative. Any positive integer, sometime 0 is included Example:"1, 24, 28, 500" Any of the natural numbers, together with zero (0, 1, 2, 3, 4…). The number 1.5 would not be a "Whole" number because it contains a fraction (5/10 or .5) or a decimal. A whole number is any POSITIVE number from 0 to infinity.
