An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
An example of an integer is... - 4 is the opposite of 4, 21 is the opposite of - 21.
An integer can be negative or positive, so if the integer is, let's say, -6. The opposite, or absolute value, of -6, is 6. So in this case, the opposite has more value than the actual integer. Does that answer the question? :D Best of luck, BrandonRocker98

That depends on how you define "opposite." It could be -89, 1/89 or something that isn't a number at all.
An Integer
Here are a few: An integer is a counting number, or a whole number. If you have a negative counting number, zero, or a positive counting number, you have an integer, and any integer will be a member of one of those three sets of numbers. Zero is the only integer that is neither positive or negative. Each integer (except zero) has a compliment with an opposite sign.
Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.
A composite number is a number that has more divisors than 1 and itself.
technically speaking yes the opposite of 5 is -5
An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
The opposite integer of 4 is -4?
The additive opposite of the additive opposite is the number itself. The multiplicative opposite of the multiplicative opposite is the number itself, unless the number was 0, in which case the first opposite is not defined.
That depends on how you define "opposite." It could be -6, or 1/6 or something that isn't a number.
A whole number is called an integer. The opposite of a whole number is a negative integer. An example would be 4 and -4.
An integer is a positive number or its opposite. Meaning 8.9 is not an integer but 8.0 is, an integer has to be a whole number, positive or negative! You're welcome... :) <3 'peace an blessins, peace an blessins'! GLOZELL
A counting number is the numbers you lear as a little kid, counting numbers are one and up. Integers include the counting numbers, 0, and the opposite (negative) of counting numbers. So yes, a counting number or the opposite of a counting number is an integer.
