It is simply written as 0 without any positive or negative sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Positive Integers:<\/strong> Positive integers are natural counting numbers greater than zero.

All positive integers lie on the right side of zero, and all negative integers lie on the left side of zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-3.png\" alt=\"Integers on a Number Line\" class=\"wp-image-13315\" title=\"Integers on a Number Line\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-3-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The numbers get bigger as we move from left to right on the number line.

The absolute value of a number is the non-negative value of the number without regard to its sign. For instance, the absolute value of $\u20133$ is | $\u20133$ |$= 3$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The resultant integer will have the same sign as the given integers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$7 + 3 = 10$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, 7 and 3 are positive. So, the answer is +10 or simply 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$(\u20137) + (\u20133) = \u201310$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the absolute values are 7 and 3. Their sum is 10.&nbsp; Since both the numbers have a (\u2013) sign, the answer is&nbsp; \u201310.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For adding integers with different signs, we subtract the absolute value of the integers. The resultant integer should be given the sign of the number that has the largest absolute value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\u20134 + 8 = +4$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the absolute values of integers are 4 and 8. On subtracting them, we get 4. Now eight has the largest absolute value, and its sign is $(+)$. So the answer is $+4$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\u20136 + 2 = \u2013$$4$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, the absolute values of integers are 6 and 2. On subtracting them, we get 4. Now six has the largest absolute value, and its sign is $(\u2013)$. So the answer is $\u20134$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The rules for addition are summarized in the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-5.png\" alt=\"Addition of Integers\" class=\"wp-image-13317\" title=\"Addition of Integers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-5.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-are-integers-5-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-subtraction-of-integers\">Subtraction of Integers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Convert the subtraction operation into an addition operation by changing the sign of the second number that is being subtracted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Apply the rules for adding integers as discussed above to get the answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$(\u2013$$6)$ $\u2013$ $(+7) = (\u2013$$6) + ($$\u2013$$7) = \u2013$$13$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, we first convert the problem into addition by changing the sign of 7.

Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"18-solved-examples-on-integers\">Solved Examples on Integers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. Sort the numbers as integers and non-integers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">\u2013<strong>5, 7.5, 100, <\/strong>$\\frac{3}{7}$, $\u20134.25$, 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Integers $= \u2013$$5$, 100, 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Non-integers $= 7.5$, $\\frac{3}{7}$, $\u20134.25$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Integer numbers do not include fractions and decimals. Hence, $\u20135$, $100$, and 0 are integer numbers, but 7.5, $\\frac{3}{7}$, and $\u20134.25$ are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>2. Solve: <\/strong>$(\u2013$$8) \u2013$ $(\u2013$$5)$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: First, we change the operation to an addition operation by changing the sign of the number to be subtracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, (\u20138) \u2013 (\u20135) = \u20138 + 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: Then we follow the addition operation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Since the signs are different, we need to find the difference in their absolute value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, $8$ $\u2013$ $5 = 3$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The sign of the resultant integer will be the sign of the integer with the highest absolute value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, 8 is the integer with the highest absolute value, and its sign is negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So the answer is $\u20133$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>3.
