The integer that is not a whole number from the given options is \(-2\).

Whole numbers are non-negative integers, which include 0 and positive integers. Since \(-2\) is negative, it is considered an integer but not a whole number.

So, the answer is \(-2\).

no

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let's clarify the definitions:

  • Integers are all whole numbers, both positive and negative, including zero. Examples of integers are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
  • Whole numbers are all non-negative integers, including 0. Examples of whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.

Given the choices: 0, -2, 7, 783

The integer that is not a whole number is indeed -2, as whole numbers cannot be negative.

If my previous response caused any confusion, I appreciate your patience. Please let me know if you have any more questions or need further clarification!
