FAQs on Examples: Addition of Integers

Question 1

1. What is the addition of integers?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Addition of integers refers to the process of combining two or more integers to find their sum. It involves adding positive and negative numbers together.

Question 2

2. How do you add positive and negative integers?

Accepted Answer

Ans. To add positive and negative integers, you follow the rules of signs. If the signs are the same, you add the numbers together and keep the sign. If the signs are different, you subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the sign of the larger number.

Question 3

3. Can you provide an example of adding integers?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Certainly! Let's say we have to add -5 and 8. Since the signs are different, we subtract the smaller number (-5) from the larger number (8), which gives us 13. We take the sign of the larger number, so our answer is 13 with a positive sign (+13).

Question 4

4. What happens when you add two positive integers?

Accepted Answer

Ans. When you add two positive integers, the sum will always be positive. For example, adding 5 and 3 gives us 8, which is a positive number.

Question 5

5. Is the addition of integers commutative?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Yes, the addition of integers is commutative, which means that changing the order of the numbers being added does not affect the sum. For example, adding 4 and 2 is the same as adding 2 and 4, and in both cases, the sum is 6.
