That might be -3, -4, -5, etc. (any number that is to the left of -2, on a standard number line).
The integer greater than -3 and less than 2 is -2. This is because it is the largest integer that is greater than -3 but still less than 2. In the number line, -2 falls between -3 and 2.
An integer is a whole number, and the largest integer less than 9.5 would be 9.4
The largest integer equal to -100 is -100. The largest integer less than -100 is -101.
By definition, a negative integer is any integer less than zero. Similarly, a positive integer is any integer greater than zero. It should be immediately obvious that an integer cannot be both less than and greater than zero. Therefore, a negative integer cannot be greater than a positive integer.
2,4,6, and 8 are examples as are -2,-4,-6
Subtract any POSITIVE integer from -2, and you get an integer that is smaller.
The integer greater than -3 and less than 2 is -2. This is because it is the largest integer that is greater than -3 but still less than 2. In the number line, -2 falls between -3 and 2.

The greatest even integer less than 2 is 0, and the smallest even integer greater than 1 is 2. Therefore, the sum of these two integers is 0 + 2, which equals 2.

1 ... 2 ... An integer is just a whole number.
A counterexample to the statement "the difference of two integers is less than either integer" can be demonstrated with the integers 5 and 3. The difference is (5 - 3 = 2). Here, 2 is not less than either integer, as it is less than 5 but greater than 3. Thus, this example shows that the difference can be less than one integer but not the other.
The greatest positive even integer less than 12 is 10
