Question

Are all integers whole numbers?

Answer 1

Yes, all integers are whole numbers, but not all whole numbers are integers.

Integers include all positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and zero (e.g., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

Whole numbers, on the other hand, are the set of non-negative integers, which include all positive whole numbers and zero (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

So, while every integer is either positive or negative and includes zero, whole numbers only include non-negative values. Therefore, the relationship is that integers are a broader category that includes all whole numbers.
