Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
What makes an integer an integer is that it is WHOLE (not a fraction).
That's the root of the word "integer," which in Latin means whole (as in "integrity," and the related words "intact" and "entire").
Natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
Rational numbers: any ratio of an integer to a natural number,
such as -3/5
Real numbers: the whole number line

Integers are any number.
Such as
-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Going on into infinite in either direction (negative or positive).
Added:
I forgot, but the people that posted below me pointed it out. It has to be a whole number. No fractions or decimals allowed.

An integer is a "whole number" (one with no fraction or decimal point). It can be more than zero (like 4), or less than zero (like -3), or zero. They can be shown on a 'number line', and go on forever in both directions to infinity and 'minus infinity'.

Did you mean "integer?"
An integer is any whole positive number, negative number, and zero.
So,

4.8, -1.25, 4/5, pi, i are not integers.

if you mean integers, these people have got it!
if you mean intregral, then it is a sing of a range of numbers used in calculus. It could be any range yiu want it to be. The sign itself is "S" shaped.
