Which term refers to Any number that isn't a decimal or fraction?

• A. Whole number
• B. Integer
• C. Natural number
• D. Rational

Answer: (A)

Numbers with no fractional part and that are not negative are called whole numbers. These are the values you count with, like 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. They can be written without a decimal point or a fraction because there isn’t anything left over after the whole units. That’s why this term fits the description “any number that isn’t a decimal or fraction” so well.

Keep in mind that other groups cover broader ideas: integers include negative numbers as well, natural numbers are the counting numbers (often starting at 1, sometimes including 0), and rational numbers include fractions and whole numbers. But when a number has no fractional part and isn’t negative, it’s a whole number.
