Question

Indicate whether the following are true or false.

The smallest integer is zero.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Intergers:

In Mathematics, integers are the collection of whole numbers and negative numbers. Similar to whole numbers, integers also does not include the fractional part. Thus, we can say, integers are numbers that can be positive, negative or zero, but cannot be a fraction.

$I=\left\{....-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5..........\right\}$

The smallest integer is not zero.The integer extends from minus infinity to plus infinity and hence zero cannot be the smallest integer.

Hence, the given statement is false.
