Let's clarify the relationship between integers and whole numbers :
Definitions
-
Integers : The set of integers includes all positive and negative whole numbers, including zero.
Example: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... -
Whole numbers : Typically, whole numbers are defined as all non-negative integers (zero and positive integers).
Example: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Is every integer a whole number?
No , not every integer is a whole number because integers include negative numbers, which are not considered whole numbers.
Summary:
- All whole numbers are integers.
- Not all integers are whole numbers (because integers include negatives).
If you want, I can provide examples or more detailed explanations!
