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.
Infinitely many in both cases.
The smallest positive integer is 1. The largest negative integer is -1. 1 > -1
1 is the smallest positive integer. But if you include negative integers, there is no smallest.
No. Integers are positive and negative whole numbers (…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …). As there are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity (the greatest negative integer being -1), there can be no smallest (negative) integer.
The smallest positive factor of any positive integer is the number 1. If negative factors are allowed, the smallest factor is the negative of the absolute value of any integer.
YES
Zero is neither positive nor negative.
-3
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.
The set of negative integers is {-1, -2, -3, ...}. The greatest negative integer is -1. From there the numbers progress toward negative infinity. There are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity. So there is no smallest negative integer. -1

Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
