Integers are all the whole numbers and their opposites. These are called the positive integers, negative integers and zero. Examples: -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
In algebra, opposites are two numbers on opposite sides of zero. so 3 and -3 are opposite numbers because they are both 3 spaces away from 0.
Positive integers are all the whole numbers greater than zero: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... . Negative integers are all the opposites of these whole numbers: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, … . We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number but it is an integer.
