Is zero the smallest integer????
2 answers
no. It is greater than all the negative integers.
Integer is the set of all numbers without the need to use decimals or fractions, examples, 2,100,0,-4.
Counting numbers are positive integers, examples: 1,2,10,10000, etc.
Counting numbers are called natural numbers by mathematicians.
Depending on the location/country, sometimes natural numbers and counting numbers include "zero".
When mathematicians want to be sure NOT to include zero, they say "non-negative integers" instead of natural numbers.
So by now you can figure out if zero is the smallest integer???
