The Integers

<p></p><p></p><p>In this section, we discuss the integers and their properties.</p> <p><strong>Integers</strong>: Integers include all whole numbers and their negatives, including zero. The set of integers is represented as:</p> <p>$$ \mathbb{Z} = {\dots, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \dots} $$</p> <p><strong>Additive Identity</strong>: The number $0$ is the additive identity because adding it to any number does not change the number.</p>
