Understanding Integers

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive or negative, including zero. They are used to represent quantities in real-world situations where direction or debt needs to be considered.

Examples

  • Positive integers: 1, 2, 3
  • Negative integers: -1, -2, -3
  • Zero: 0

Real-World Examples

  • Temperature: Positive integers for temperatures above zero, negative integers for temperatures below zero.
  • Finance: Positive integers for money earned or gained, negative integers for debts or losses.

Operations with Integers


Addition and Subtraction

  • Adding Integers: When adding integers with the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the sign.
    • Example: 3 + 5 = 8
    • Example: −3 + (−5) = −8
  • Subtracting Integers: Subtracting integers is similar to adding but with different signs.
    • Example: 3 − 5 = −2
    • Example: −3 − (−5) = 2

Multiplication and Division

  • Multiplying Integers: The product of two integers with the same sign is positive; with different signs, it's negative.
    • Example: 3 × 5 = 15
    • Example: −3 × (−5) = 15
    • Example: −3 × 5 = −15
  • Dividing Integers: Division of integers can result in positive or negative quotients depending on the signs.
    • Example: 15 ÷ 3 = 5
    • Example: 15 ÷ (−3) = −5

Examples in Context

  • Adding/Subtracting Finances: Adding income (+) and subtracting expenses (-).
  • Multiplying/Dividing Temperatures: Multiplying temperature changes (e.g., −2 times −3 degrees).
