Noun

integers

  1. (mathematics) Plural form of integer.
  2. (mathematics) (plural only; not used in singular form) The smallest ring containing the natural numbers; the set {... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...}.

The integers (from the Latin integer, literally "untouched", hence "whole": the word entire comes from the same origin, but via French) are natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and their negatives (0, −1, −2, −3, ...). They are numbers that can be written without a fractional or decimal component, and fall within the set {... −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, ...}. For example, 65, 7, and −756 are integers; 1.6 and 1½ are not integers. In other terms, integers are the numbers one can count with items such as apples or fingers, and their negatives, as well as 0.

More formally, the integers are the only integral domain whose positive elements are well-ordered, and in which order is preserved by addition. Like the natural numbers, the integers form a countably infinite set. The set of all integers is often denoted by a boldface Z (or blackboard bold , Unicode U+2124 ℤ), which stands for Zahlen (German for numbers, pronounced [ˈtsaːlən]).

Integers can be thought of as points on an infinitely long number line.

In algebraic number theory, these commonly understood integers, embedded in the field of rational numbers, are referred to as rational integers to distinguish them from the more broadly defined algebraic integers.

Is it symptotically faster to square an n-bit integer than to multiply two n-bit integers?
Q. Professor F. Lake tells his class that it is asymptotically faster to square an n-bit integer than to multiply two n-bit integers. Should they believe him?
Asked by jke - Wed Dec 17 13:18:49 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I should think so. When squaring two numbers the partial product matrix is able to be reduced by symmetry making it faster than multiplying two different numbers

What is the equation to find the two integers?
Q. I'm confused about how to do this problem: The product of two consecutive odd integers decreased by three times the larger is 104. If x represents the smaller integer, which equation could be used to find the two integers? I used to be good at these, but I just haven't done them in quite a while... none of the answers so far are what i'm looking for. here are the choices: a) x^2-x-110=0 b) x^2+5x-104=0 c) x^2-x-104=0 d) x^2-x-98=0

A. OK, x is the first integer; and x+2 is the second. The problem is translated into: x*(x+ 2)-3(x+2) = 104 this will give a quadratic which you can solve for; one answer is probably even and the other odd. --- OK, I solved it just for grins; x can be either 10 or 11, so the answer you're looking for is 11 and 13 (10 and 12 would work, but they're even, not odd).

How can I write this problem out as an equation that I can use to find the consecutive integers?
Q. 3 times an integer is 41 less than 5 times the next consecutive integer. Find the two integers. 3x=5x-41 is what I had but I can't understand how to go from that point on to find the consecutive integers. I know the two integers are 18 & 19 so I'm really confused.

A. Let x = the first integer Let x+1 = the second integer 3x = 5(x +1) -41 3x = 5x +5 - 41 3x = 5x - 36 -2x = -36 x = 18 x+1 = 19 CHECK 3(18) = 5(18+1) -41 54 = 90 +5 -41 54 = 95 - 41 54 = 54
