  1. Its a fancy word for numbers basically over 0. They are just trying to confuse you lol.


  2. integers are whole numbers. not fractions.

  3. Integers means whole numbers, be they positive, negative or 0. -16 is an integer, as is 156.

  4. Integers are whole numbers. (1, 3, 5, 6 , 573, 3,678 and so on...)

    1/2, 3/4, 1/4, 5/11 6/8 and so on are not integers. They are fractions.

  5. integers

    The set of numbers containing zero, the natural numbers, and all the negatives of the natural numbers.

  6. "The integers (from the Latin integer, literally "untouched", hence "whole": the word entire comes from the same origin, but via French[1]) are the set of numbers consisting of the natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and their negatives (0, −1, −2, −3, ...). They are numbers that can be written without a fractional or decimal component, and fall within the set {... −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, ...}. For example, 65, 7, and −756 are integers; 1.6 and 1½ are not integers. In other terms, integers are the numbers one can count with items such as apples or fingers, and their negatives, including 0."
