Example Question #3 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
Which of the following describes the number ?
integer
whole number
all of the other choices
natural number
integer
Natural numbers are the counting numbers from to infinity (all positive numbers). Whole numbers are the natural numbers plus . Integers are the positive and negative counting numbers, including . Therefore, the most accurate term to describe the number is an integer.
Example Question #4 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
Which of these numbers is an integer but not a whole number?
The whole numbers are the elements of the set
.
The integers are the the elements of the set
.
The numbers that belong to the former but not the latter are exactly the set of negative integers. Of the given choices, only is such a number. It is the correct choice.
Example Question #5 : Integers And Types Of Numbers
Evaluate:
First evaluate everything inside of the absolute value. 3-5=-2.
The absolute value then turns all negative numbers into a positive number, so the -2 becomes a positive 2.
Example Question #1 : Understanding The Properties Of Integers
If a and b are even integers, what must be odd?
The sum (or difference) or 2 even integers is even. Similarly, the product (or quotient) of 2 even integers is also even; therefore the answer must be , which can be easily checked by plugging in any two even numbers.
For example, if , which is odd.
Example Question #1 : Understanding The Properties Of Integers
What is the greatest prime factor of
The only prime factors are 3 and 5, therefore, 5 will be the greatest prime factor.
Example Question #1 : How To Define Integers In Pre Algebra
Is an integer, decimal, or a fraction?
Integer
None
Fraction
Decimal
Fraction
A fraction is a number with a numerator and denominator that can not be simplified into an integer so the number is a fraction.
Example Question #2 : How To Define Integers In Pre Algebra
Which of the following is an integer?
-100.1
1.5
Integers are any number that doesn't have anything in the decimal places. They are also known as whole numbers. The cubed root of 64 is 4, which is the only whole number out of the answer choices.
Example Question #3 : How To Define Integers In Pre Algebra
Which of the following is NOT an integer?
1024
-4
An integer is simply a whole negative or positive number, which means it can be expressed without decimal places. Any number can be considered an integer as long as it fits this criteria. They can be expressed as square roots, fractions, or anything else, as long as the final answer is a whole number. In this question, the only answer that is not a whole number is , which is 1.6.
Example Question #941 : Pre Algebra
Which of the following is not an integer?
By definition, an integer is a whole number that is either positive or negative. Negative numbers such as and are integers, as are 10 and 5.
, however, is not an integer because it isn't a whole number.
Example Question #6 : How To Define Integers In Pre Algebra
What type of number is ?
Decimal
Fraction
Irrational
None
Integer
Fraction
An integer is a whole number, either positive or negative. In other words, it is a number that can be written without a fractional or decimal part. Examples are:
is therefore not an integer, but it is a fraction.
