Whole Numbers

Whole numbers are a set of numbers that include all positive integers (1, 2, 3, etc), all negative integers (-1, -2, -3, etc), and zero (0) which is the neutral integer. They are called "whole" because they do not include fractions or decimals. Whole numbers are used in various mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They are also used in counting, measuring, and labeling. Here are examples of whole numbers:
