Integers and Rational Numbers

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero. They do not include fractions or decimals.

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not zero.

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.

To order numbers from least to greatest, compare their values and arrange them starting from the smallest to the largest.

Whole numbers are non-negative integers, including zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...), while whole numbers include zero.

The multiplicative inverse of a number is 1 divided by that number. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 5 is 1/5.

17/10 is classified as a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction.

The opposite of a number is the number that is the same distance from zero but in the opposite direction on the number line.

A number is greater than another number if it is to the right of that number on the number line.
