Solution

## Integers: Integers are denoted without any fractional component. They are denoted by set symbol $Z$ as follows:$Z=\left\{...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...\right\}$These numbers are used in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, among other arithmetic operations. Three types of integers are:ZeroPositive Integers (Natural Numbers)Negative Integers ( Natural Numbers with minus sign)Fractions: Fractions contains a numerator at the top and denominator at the bottom. The numerator and denominator are separated by horizontal lines. for example.,$\frac{3}{4}$is a fraction with $3$ as a numerator and $4$ as a denominator. There are six types of fractions-Proper Fraction: When the numerator is less than the denominator for example,$\frac{6}{7}$.Improper Fraction: When the numerator is more than the denominator for example.,$\frac{7}{6}$.Mixed Fraction: It contains a quotient and a remainder forexample.,$5\frac{1}{4}$.Like Fraction: Here two fractions have a common denominator for example.,$\frac{10}{3}$and$\frac{7}{3}$.Unlike Fraction: Here two fractions have different denominators for example.,$\frac{10}{3}$and$\frac{7}{4}$.Equivalent Fraction: They are different fraction having different numerator and denominator but represents same part of the whole For example, $\frac{3}{6}$and$\frac{5}{10}$both will be equivalent to$\frac{1}{2}$.
