An integer (pronounced IN-tuh-jer) is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive,
negative, or zero.
Examples of numbers that are not integers are: -1.43, 1 3/4, 3.14, .09, and 5,643.1.
The set Z is a denumerable set. Denumerability refers to the fact that, even though there might be an
infinite number of elements in a set, those elements can be denoted by a list that implies the identity of
every element in the set. For example, it is intuitive from the list {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} that
356,804,251 and -67,332 are integers, but 356,804,251.5, -67,332.89, -4/3, and 0.232323 ... are not.
The elements of Z can be paired off one-to-one with the elements of N, the set of natural numbers, with
no elements being left out of either set. Let N = {1, 2, 3, ...}. Then the pairing can proceed in this way:
In infinite sets, the existence of a one-to-one correspondence is the litmus test for determining
cardinality, or size. The set of natural numbers and the set of rational numbers have the same cardinality
as Z. However, the sets of real numbers, imaginary numbers, and complex numbers have cardinality
larger than that of Z.
Properties of Integers
Closure Property
Associative Property
Commutative Property
Distributive Property
Identity Property.
Property 1: Closure Property
Among the various properties of integers, closure property under addition and
subtraction states that the sum or difference of any two integers will always be an
integer i.e. if x and y are any two integers, x + y and x − y will also be an integer.
(–5) + 8 = 3,
Closure property under multiplication states that the product of any two integers
will be an integer i.e. if x and y are any two integers, xy will also be an integer.
Division of integers doesn’t follow the closure property, i.e. the quotient of any
two integers x and y, may or may not be an integer.
⇒x+y=y+x
⇒x×y=y×x
⇒ 4 − (−6) ≠ (−6) – 4
Ex: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 ; 2 ÷ 10 = 1/5
⇒ 10 ÷ 2 ≠ 2 ÷ 10
Property 3: Associative Property
The associative property of addition and multiplication states that the way of
grouping of numbers doesn’t matter; the result will be the same. One can group
numbers in any way but the answer will remain the same. Parenthesis can be
done, irrespective of the order of terms. Let x, y and z be any three integers, then
⇒ x + (y + z) = (x + y) +z
⇒ x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z
1 – (2 – (−3)) ≠ (1 − 2) − (−3)
⇒ x × (y + z) = x × y + x × z
⇒ x × (y − z) = x × y − x × z
Among the various properties of integers, additive identity property states that
when any integer is added to zero it will give the same number. Zero is called
additive identity. For any integer x,
x+0=x=0+x
The multiplicative identity property for integers says that whenever a number is
multiplied by 1 it will give the integer itself as the product. Therefore, 1 is called
the multiplicative identity for a number. For any integer x,
x×1=x=1×x
x × 0 = 0 =0 × x
If any integer multiplied by -1, the product will be opposite of the number:
x × (−1) = −x = (−1) × x.
