The integers are natural numbers (1,2,3,...), their additive inverses, (-1,-2,-3,) and their additive identity 0.
The integers are a commutative ring under addition and multiplication which means that:
They form a group under addition. The sum of two integers is also an integer. There is an additive identity, 0 such that a + 0 = a = 0 + a for every integer a. Every integer a, has an additive inverse, -a such that a + (-a) = 0.
The product of two integers is also an integer. There is a multiplicative identity, 1 such that a x 1 = a = 1 x a.
Integers, except for 1, do not have a multiplicative inverse.

A number that divides evenly by one. Represented in decimal form, an integer is a number where either there are no digits past the decimal place or all the digits past the decimal place are zeroes (in mathematical terms they're both the same).

an integer is ...{..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...} each listing of three dots above is called an "ellipsis", which means the pattern continues. the members are called 'elements '. rational numbers are integers, basically its any number that can be it's on opposite.

A nuber that is rational, whole, and natural. For example -4,-3,-2,
-1,0,1,2,3,4 all are intergers.

(in programming) its any whole number including zero. For example 1, 48, 925582258. Not 5.1 or 5.1111102335.
