Question

Katie said, '' negative numbers are integers.'' what was her error?

Answer 1

Her error was that an integer is not just negative numbers, integers are whole numbers that are not fractions, which mean it could be positive or negative whole numbers.

Answer 2

An integer is defined as whole number, or a number that is not a fraction. Any whole number that is negative or positive can be an integer. Technically, not all negative numbers are integers. If the number is not a whole number, it is not considered an integer. For example, -2.5 is not an integer.
