Integers in math

In this blog am going to discuss with you about a mathematical concept what is a integer?

Any number which is not a fraction but can be negative, positive or a zero is an integer. Any numbers in a number line is an integer.  Example: -1,-2,-3,0,+1,+2,+3 etc. In order to work well integers you can also use integer calculator.

The addition, subtraction and multiplication of two integers also give an integer as a result. But in case of division it may result in an integer or a fraction also.

Example:

1)      When we add 3+4=7 i.e. we added two integers 3 and 4 it resulted in another integer 7.

2)      When we subtract 9-4=5 i.e. we subtract two integers 9 from four it resulted in another integer 5.

3)      When we multiply3*5=15 i.e. we multiplied two integers3 and 5 it resulted in another integer 15.

4)      When we divide 15/3=5 i.e. we divided 15 by 3 it resulted in another integer 5, but when we divide 5/10=1/2 i.e. we divided 5 by 10 it resulted in a fraction ½ .

In mathematical equations integers are generally represented with the help of alphabets like p, q, r etc
