1x8

3x6 and so on.

Now in inches, which are whole numbers also, it brings up a great range of sizes, and in centimeters, which can be in whole numbers, even greater.

Measurements are in whole numbers depending on the UNIT of measurement. 1 inch is a nice whole unit of measurement, but the exact same distance is 2.54centimeter, not a WHOLE UNIT.

The problem in math is that your math teachers are forgetting what you are dealing with in the real world. Seldom is something with an associated unit. Seldom is any measurement a "whole number". We use units to express that.

How much did you earn carrying out the trash? 40. Forty what? cents? dollars? pesos? Compliments?

How for did you walk? 120 ... 120cm, 120 miles, what?

For your birthday, I will give you money? It has to be in small whole numbers, less than 10.
OK, I want 9 (trillion dollars).

Units are important, and they may be whole units, but they are not whole numbers. 9 trillion dollars is not a whole unit in Pesos.
