Integers are the numbers which consist of whole numbers and negative numbers ( the opposite of natural numbers) such as ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, .....

The integers can be illustrated in the form of number line as shown in the following :







The numbers in the right side of 0, i.e 1, 2, 3, ... are called positive integers

· The numbers in the left side of 0, i.e 1, 2, 3, ... are called negative integers

2, 3, ...

While whole number is number that consist of 0 and natural numbers.

Negative number is the opposite of natural number.
