Whole Numbers
The whole numbers are the number without fractions and it is a collection of
positive integers and zero. It is represented as “W” and the set of numbers are
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,……………}
These numbers are positive including zero and do not include fractional or
decimal parts (3/4, 2.2 and 5.3 are not whole numbers).
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division operations are possible with
the whole numbers.
A more comprehensive understanding of the whole number can be obtained
from the following chart:
Closure Property
They can be closed under addition and multiplication, i.e., if x and y are two
whole numbers then x. y or x+y is also a whole number.
Additive identity
When a whole number is added to 0, its value remains unchanged, i.e., if x is a
whole number then x+0=0+x=x
Multiplicative identity
When a whole number is multiplied by 1, its value remains unchanged, i.e., if x
is a whole number then x.1 = x = 1.x
Associative Property
When whole numbers are being added or multiplied as a set, they can be
grouped in any order, and the result will be the same, i.e. if x, y and z are whole
numbers then x+(y+z)=(x+y)+z and x.(y.z)=(x.y).z
Example 8
Example 9: 8765 X 999 + 8765
= 8765 X 999 + 8765 X 1
= 8765 X (999 + 1 )
= 8765 X 1000 = 8765000
EXERCISE 4
QUOTIENT: The number of times the divisor divides the dividend is called the
quotient.
REMAINDER: The number which is left over after division is called the
remainder.
Quotient (q) = 15
