WHOLE NUMBER LÀ GÌ

     

Examples: 0, 7,212 & 1023 are all whole numbers

(But numbers like ½, 1.1 và −5 are not whole numbers.)

Counting Numbers

Counting Numbers are Whole Numbers, but without the zero. Because you can"t "count" zero.Bạn đã xem: Whole number là gì

So they are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

Natural Numbers

Integers

Integers are lượt thích whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers ... But still no fractions allowed!


*

So, integers can be negative −1, −2,−3, −4, ... , positive 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , or zero 0

We can put that all together like this:

Integers = ..., −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Examples: −16, −3, 0, 1 và 198 are all integers.

(But numbers like ½, 1.1 and 3.5 are not integers)

These are all integers (click to lớn mark), and they continue left and right infinitely:

Some People Have Different Definitions!

Some people (not me) say that whole numbers can also be negative, which makes them exactly the same as integers.

And some people say that zero is NOT a whole number. So there you go, not everyone agrees on a simple thing!

My Standard

I usually stick khổng lồ this:

NameNumbersExamplesWhole Numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 0, 27,398, 2345 Counting Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 1, 18, 27, 2061 Integers ... −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... −15, 0, 27, 1102

And everyone agrees on the definition of an integer, so when in doubt say "integer".

And when you only want positive integers, say "positive integers". It is not only accurate, it makes you sound intelligent. Lượt thích this (note: zero isn"t positive or negative):

Integers = ..., −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Negative Integers = ..., −4, −3, −2, −1 Positive Integers = 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Non-Negative Integers = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... (includes zero, see?)
