An integer number is a number that can be written without using a rational component. In other words, if a number can be written without using a fraction, then that number is considered an integer.

For example, let's take the first number:


-(64)/(8)

This number is written as a fraction. But, this is also equivalent to:


-(64)/(8)=-8

Since it can also be written without making use of a fraction then this number is an integer.

Also, there are numbers that are written in decimal form. For example:


-8.92

These types of numbers are not integers.
