INTEGERS

I. Number and language

Fill in the gaps using the given words (some words may be used more than once)

negative square number integers counting numbers positive fractions prime number

factor cube number composite number multiple factor natural numbers zero

Whole numbers are numbers that has no ………………………… (1) and no digits after the decimal point.

…………………………… (2) are whole numbers from 0 to infinity. We can also define that the set of

………………………… (3) (denoted by  ) consists of …………………………… (4) and zero. The set of
………………………… (5) (denoted by  ) is an extension of  . It includes ………………………… (6) whole
numbers, ………………………… (7) and ………………………… (8) whole numbers.

When an integer is multiplied by itself, the result is a ………………………… (9). When an integer is

multiplied by itself and then by itself again, the result is a ………………………… (10).

A ………………………… (11) of a number is found when you multiply that number by an integer. A

………………………… (12) of a number is an integer that divides exactly into that number.

II. Practice

Part A. Write your short answer in the Answer column for each question.
