An integer is a whole number, either positive or negative, that does not have a decimal or fractional component.
The integer 'x' is used as a variable in mathematical equations to represent an unknown quantity. It can also be used to represent a specific value in a given equation or problem.
An integer is a subset of real numbers that includes only whole numbers, while real numbers include all numbers on the number line, including decimals and fractions.
To add or subtract integers, simply follow the same rules as adding or subtracting whole numbers. To multiply or divide integers, you must also consider the signs of the numbers involved. A positive number multiplied or divided by a positive number will result in a positive number, while a negative number multiplied or divided by a negative number will result in a positive number. When multiplying or dividing a positive and negative number, the result will be negative.
Integers can be used to represent quantities such as money, time, distance, and temperature in real-world scenarios. By using mathematical operations with integers, we can solve problems related to these quantities, such as calculating profits or losses, determining travel time, or converting between different units of measurement.
