Oh, dude, no way! The number 0 is actually considered a whole number, not a positive integer. Positive integers are all the numbers greater than zero, so 0 just missed the cut. But hey, it's still hanging out with the cool numbers in the whole number club, so it's all good.

Integer that is not a whole number?
no, integer is 0 or positive / negative whole number
Is 0 an integer true or false?
An integer is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative or zero - so true
Why can't we use 0 or 1 as a prime or composite number?
A prime number has just two positive integer factors, itself and 1. Therefore, 0 and 1, which have none, and one, positive integer factor respectively, are not prime. A composite number has more than two positive integer factors - that is, including itself and 1. Therefore, since 0 and 1 do not have more than two positive integer factors, they are not composite, either.
Why is 0 not a composite number?
0 is not a composite number. A composite number has two or more positive integer factors. Zero has none.
Is 0 a composite number?
A composite number has more than two positive integer factors. A prime number has exactly two positive integer factors. 0 is therefore neither prime nor composite. It is not "composed" of any factors.Zero (0) is neither composite nor prime.
Is 0 is the smllest positive integer?
The number zero is not the smallest positive integer. The number one is the smallest positive integer.
Integer that is not a whole number?
no, integer is 0 or positive / negative whole number
Is negative integer is a always a whole number?
No. A whole number is either 0 or a positive integer.
Is 0 an integer true or false?
An integer is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative or zero - so true
What is the number tween 0 and 1 fraction a positive integer a whole number a negative integer?
A number between 0 and 1 is a fraction.
If they ask for an integer number it could be -2?
Yes. An integer is a whole number and it can be a positive or negative number, or 0.
Why is 1 and 0 nor prime or composite?
A prime number has two positive integer factors, itself and 1. The number 0 has no positive integer factors, and is therefore not prime. The number 1 has just a single positive integer factor, and once again, is not prime.
What are the numbers that are not prime or composite?
A prime number is a number with two positive integer factors, while a composite number has more than two positive integer factors. Since the number 0 has no positive integer factors, and the number 1 has just one positive integer factor (itself), neither of these are prime.
What integer can be positive or negative?
Any integer, other than 0, has a positive as well as a negative version. -0 is the same as +0, and so the two are treated as a single number.
Is a positive integer a whole number?
Aninteger by definition must be a whole number... no 5.5 or 1/3 . Examples of integers are 3, -3, and 0. So YES a positive integer (or a negative integer ) is a whole number.
Is it true that the sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always positive?
It depends, if a number with positive integers is greater than the number with the negative integer therefore the sum will be in positive integer. And if the number with positive integer is less than the number with the number with negative integer then the sum will be in negative integer.
Why can't we use 0 or 1 as a prime or composite number?
A prime number has just two positive integer factors, itself and 1. Therefore, 0 and 1, which have none, and one, positive integer factor respectively, are not prime. A composite number has more than two positive integer factors - that is, including itself and 1. Therefore, since 0 and 1 do not have more than two positive integer factors, they are not composite, either.
