Types of Integers

Types of Integers:

There are two types of Integers:

1. Positive Integers:
Positive integers are whole numbers, which are greater than zero. For example, 25, 27, 103, 758…etc.
2. Negative Integers:
Negative integers are the opposites of the whole numbers. For example, -5, -22, -38, -504, -4585…etc. Negative numbers indicated by the sign (-). Zero is neither positive nor negative.

Rules for Dividing Integers:

The rules for solving dividing integers is explained below:
Consider this division example: 24 ÷ 4 = 6.

In division each number is referred by a special name.

Here, 24 is dividend, 4 is divisor, and 6 is quotient

quotient × divisor = dividend

dividend ÷ divisor = quotient

dividend ÷ quotient = divisor

Rules for Solving Dividing Integers

1) Positive ÷ Positive = Positive

Example: 28 ÷ 7 = 4

28, 7, and 4 are positive.

2) Negative ÷ Negative = Positive

Example: -28 ÷ -7 = 4

28 and 7 are negative, but 4 is positive.

3) Negative ÷ Positive = Negative

Example: -28 ÷ 7 = -4

28 is negative, 7 is positive, but 4 is negative.

4) Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
Example: 28 ÷ -7 = -4

28 is positive, 7 is negative, and 4 is negative.
