Why is zero

considered a
whole number?
We all know that 1 is whole number, so
when you subtract 1 from 1 the result is
0. Subtraction of 2 whole numbers results
also in whole number which in our case is
0. (Example: 12-2=10).
Any number that is a decimal or a fraction is
NOT a whole number, so because 0 isn't a
fraction or have a decimal point with a
number after it, it is therefore a whole
number
