What is the significance of zero in the set of integers?

Back

Zero is considered an integer and serves as the dividing point between positive and negative integers.

Front

How do you identify the median of a set of integers?

Back

To find the median, order the integers from least to greatest and select the middle number. If there is an even number of integers, average the two middle numbers.
