is it a whole bulb or just a piece of it?

It's just a piece of it. When you peel the garlic bulb, you'll notice that it is split into pieces, one of those pieces is a clove.

They are actually completely different ingredients, but you will find both in most grocery stores. 3 garlic cloves means you take a head (bulb) of fresh garlic and take off three of the pieces (cloves) and peel them, then follow the recipe instructions. You will find the heads of fresh garlic in the produce section of the grocery store. You can also buy garlic that is already peeled, but it loses flavor over time. Whole cloves are actually a totally different spice. You will find them in the section of the store where all the spices are, in a little spice jar. Cloves come whole or ground. The whole ones are shaped like a tapered brown stick with a flower shape at one end, usually about a centimeter or so long (less than half an inch.) The ground ones are a brown powder. Cloves are used a lot in baking and in savory cooking as well. They are in gingerbread, pumpkin pie, and a lot of Eastern cuisines as well. If you can't find them in the supermarket you usually go to, they will definitely have them at Whole Foods in the baking and spice section.

Just a piece. One of the nubs on a head/bulb of garlic is a clove.

The 'piece' is called a clove.
Cloves range in size.
If you are using a recipe add to taste.

A clove is a whole piece if the recipes calls for a whole clove you should use what is called for unless you are not overly fond of garlic

A clove of garlic '', is only the small part. It's not the full part.
