Explanation:

You know the counting 1 to 10, but did you know that what comes before 0 , i mean what is the counting before 0. So, the answer is -1,-2,-3,-4 and so on . Integers are divided into 2 types one is positve integer like the counting that we use ex 1,2,3 and so on. And second one is the negative integer the counting that we do not use , before 0 counting ex-1,-2,-3 and so on.

Every integer without any sign is considered as positive integer ex 1,2 . Every positive integer opposite is negative integer. Ex -4 opposite or reciprocal is 4. And 4 opposite or reciprocal is -4.
