Question

Why should we use INTEGERS? who invented INTEGERS ? why is the name given INTEGERS?

Answer 1

Integers are an important part of calculations in many different branches of thought, ranging from banking to sports to weather. Playing a video game, reviewing deposits or withdrawals in a checking account or even looking at weight all require integers. They not only show a direct relationship to some starting point, but they also give description and meaning to the numbers that occur in everyday situations.

Integers, or numbers not represented as a fraction, such as 1, 2, 3 and so on, were not invented but rather discovered. As a very basic component of mathematics, integers have been studied and worked with for longer than other mathematical discoveries.
