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?
