Answer 2

The whole numbers are the part of the number system in which it includes all the positive integers from 0 to infinity. These numbers exist in the number line. Hence, they are all real numbers. We can say, all the whole numbers are real numbers, but not all the real numbers are whole numbers.

• Whole Numbers: W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10……}
• Natural Numbers: N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,…}
• Integers: Z = {….-9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,…}
• Counting Numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,….}

These numbers are positive integers including zero and do not include fractional or decimal parts (3/4, 2.2 and 5.3 are not whole numbers). Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division operations are possible on whole numbers.

Symbol

The symbol to represent whole numbers is the alphabet ‘W’ in capital letter.

W = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,…

Facts:

• All the natural numbers are whole numbers
• All counting numbers are whole numbers
• All positive integers including zero are whole numbers
• All whole numbers are real numbers

Whole number properties :

The properties of whole numbers are based on arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. Two whole numbers if added or multiplied will give a whole number itself. Subtraction of two whole numbers may not result in whole numbers, i.e. it can be an integer too. Also, division of two whole numbers results in getting a fraction in some cases.
