  1. none


  2. -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 and etc.

    Hope I helped and choose me for best answer!

  3. Hi,

    -1 and so on are whole numbers and also called integers.

  4. negatives? like -1

  5. there is no such number

  6. Depends on the authority you listen to:

    Wikipedia:

    The term whole number is used by various authors to mean either:

    the nonnegative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)

    the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...)

    all integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)

    So if the first or second one is accepted, the answer is NONE

    If the third one is accepted, than the answer is -1,-2,-3, etc

    .

  7. I can't believe the quantity of  horse manure being promulgated.  To those whose said  none, kudos (and thumbs up too) .  I will defer that some authors may use the term whole number to refer to

    the entire set of integers, however this is uncommon.  I saw the wikipedia entry, however

    check the webster definition I have included as a

    link.  Virtually every algebra and calculus textbook

    I've ever seen use the definition explained here,

    so does every math teacher or professor I've ever met.

    THERE ARE NO WHOLE NUMBERS LESS THAN ZERO

    The Whole Numbers consist of zero, along with the counting

    numbers, that is {0,1,2,3,4,5......}

    The counting numbers are the numbers you count with

    {1,2,3,4,5.......}

    Now if we consider numbers less than zero, that is the

    negatives of the counting numbers {-1,-2,-3,-4.....}  

    these numbers are Negatives of counting numbers and

    also negatives of whole numbers but none of these are

    whole numbers.  They are called negative integers.

    The counting numbers are called positive integers andentire set {..-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5.....}   are

    called the set of integers.    HOWEVER NEGATIVE

    INTEGERS ARE NOT WHOLE NUMBERS.    

    Please, for your grade's sake do not believe  anyone who says they are negative whole numbers

  8. anything negative like -1, -2, -23, -598 etc.

    but not -1.25, -2.5565 etc.

    The integers are the set of numbers consisting of the natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and their negatives (0, −1, −2, −3, ...).

  9. All the negative ones that aren't fractions.
