Remember, a positive number is always greater than a negative number, and when comparing negative numbers, the one farther from zero is less.
Negative numbers are smaller than zero. Negative numbers get smaller and smaller the farther they are from zero. This can get confusing because you may think that –400 is bigger than –12. But just think of –400° F and –12° F.
If you mean the traditional definition of “greater than,” then no. All positive numbers are greater than 0 and all negative numbers. All negative numbers are less than 0 and all positive numbers. 0 is less than all positive numbers and greater than all negative numbers.
Every positive integer is larger than every negative integer.
Negative numbers are always less than positive numbers (and zero) and therefore, always to the left of positive numbers when numbers are placed in ascending order.
Introduction. Positive numbers are those which are greater than zero. Negative numbers are those which are less than zero. Below is a table to help you remember what to do with the sign when using multiplication or division and addition or subtraction.
No, negative numbers are all less than positive numbers.
A positive integer is greater than a negative integer. Therefore, 1 is the greater integer.
Hence -1 is the largest negative integer.
Key idea: The fact that numbers farther to the right on the number line are greater, is true for both positive and negative numbers.
Positive numbers are greater than 0 and located to the right of 0 on a number line. Negative numbers are less than 0 and located to the left of 0 on a number line. The number zero is neither positive nor negative. Positive and negative numbers are sometimes called signed numbers.
Rule #1 (positive # & negative #) - positive integer is always greater in value. Rule #2 (all positive #'s) - integer that is farther from zero on a number line is of greater value. Rule #3 (all negative #'s) - integer closest to zero on a number line is of greater value.
Every negative integer is on the left of zero on the number line. Hence, zero is greater than every negative integer.
Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is ALWAYS greater than a negative decimal. When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater.
Answer. Explanation: zero is bigger than any negative number, but smaller than every positive number....
The Greater Integer is -1.
Hence 0 is larger than −2.
As we have already learned, the integers are represented on a number line. The center of the number line is marked as 0. On the left side of 0, the negative integers are arranged in ascending order from left to right. On the right side of 0, the positive integers are arranged in ascending order from left to right.
Zero is greater than every negative integer as all the negative integers lie to the left of zero on the number line.
Zero is the integer denoted 0 that, when used as a counting number, means that no objects are present. It is the only integer (and, in fact, the only real number) that is neither negative nor positive. A number which is not zero is said to be nonzero.
If two positive numbers are multiplied together or divided, the answer is positive. If two negative numbers are multiplied together or divided, the answer is positive. If a positive and a negative number are multiplied or divided, the answer is negative.
