whole number
Number without decimals
A whole number is an integer—a number without fractions or decimals.
In everyday usage, whole numbers are typically the positive integers and zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Mathematicians sometimes include negative integers in the definition.
The term emphasizes completeness: Give me a whole number, not a fraction.
