Answer:

No

Explanation:

I am assuming the "opposite" is its reciprocal

If an integer is negative ex: -2, then its reciprocal: -1/2 is larger.

Answer:

An integer can be negative or positive, so if the integer is, let's say, -6. The opposite, or absolute value, of -6, is 6. So in this case, the opposite has more value than the actual integer. Does that answer the question? :D
