What is an Integer
What is an Integer
While studying the properties of whole numbers, we found that the closure property does not hold good for the subtraction of natural numbers as well as whole numbers. This is because of the following:
12 - 10 = 2 is a whole number as well as a natural number.
12-12 = 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
12 - 18 = - 6 which is neither a whole number nor a natural number.
12 - 10 = 2 is a whole number as well as a natural number.
12-12 = 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
12 - 18 = - 6 which is neither a whole number nor a natural number.
