No. The positive integers are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}. They start at 1 (which is the least positive integer) and progress forever (to infinity). There is no end to the positive integers, so there is no greatest positive integer. Another way to look at it might be to think of any really large integer (a "counting" or "whole" number) and add one. That will create a "next bigger" large number. You can continue to do this infinitely many times.

What is the product of greatest negative integer and smallest positive integer?
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
What is the greatest positive integer?
There is none, because there is always a greater integer.
When you subtract a positive integer by a positive integer do you get a positive integer?
If the integer subtracted is smaller than or equal to the first integer, then the answer is positive. Otherwise, if the integer subtracted is larger, then the answer is negative.
What is the sign of the quotient if you divide a positive integer by a positive integer?
positive
What is the sum of zero and a positive integer?
the positive integer
What is the product of greatest negative integer and smallest positive integer?
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
What is the greatest positive integer?
There is none, because there is always a greater integer.
What is the greatest factor of 22?
The greatest factor of any positive integer is itself.
Why -1 is the greatest integer?
It is not - so the question is seriously flawed. If you stated that -1 was the greatest (most positive) negative integer you would be correct. However, numbers are infinite so you cannot state a greatest integer. Integers are both positive and negative numbers, but have to be whole numbers
How many integers are there in the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer?
Infinitely many in both cases.
What is the positive even integer less than 12?
The greatest positive even integer less than 12 is 10
Is there a greatest negative integer?
Yes, there is a greatest negative integer. It is -1 because -1 is the only negative number before 0 and negative numbers are the opposite of positive numbers.
How do you get the absolute value of positive integer?
The absoluate value of a positive integer is the integer itself.The absoluate value of a positive integer is the integer itself.The absoluate value of a positive integer is the integer itself.The absoluate value of a positive integer is the integer itself.
What is the greatest common factor of 189 and 117?
The greatest common positive integer factor of 117 and 189 is 9.
What is the product of a positive integer and a positive integer?
The product would be a positive integer.
What is the greatest value of a positive integer n such that 3^n is a factor of 18^15?
605
What is the greatest positive integer n such that 3n is a factor of 200?
No factors of 200 are divisible by three.
