∙ 12y ago-1 is a greater number than -3.
For negative numbers, it is helpful to think of a number line, with 0 in the middle, positive numbers to the right, and negative numbers to the left. For instance:
-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Numbers further to the right are greater than numbers further to the left. It is clear from this that -1 is greater than -3.

How is negative 1 the largest negative number?
In a number line numbers grow up from left to right. So the negative numbers go toward zero, which is not a signed number, and separate negative from positive numbers(..., -50, ..., -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 50,...).So that -1 is the largest negative integer.
What is the largest integer that can be added to -4 to get a negative number?
3 is the largest.
If you divide a positive number by a negative number is the answer positive or negative?
Negative. Example: 3/-3= -1
The largest non positive integers?
The largest nonpositive integer is 0.Nonpositive integers include 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, ...continues ad infinitum.A negative number is not larger than a neutral number (AKA: a number not positive or negative). Therefore, no negative number is larger than 0. Of this set, 0 is the largest, since it is the only nonnegative integer.
What is negative integers?
A negative integer is a number less than 0 0 is neither a negative nor positive integer. negative integers = -1, -2, -3, -4 and so on
What is the negative reciprocal of -3?
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divide by that number - the reciprocal of -3 is 1/(-3), or -1/3. So, the negative reciprocal of -3 would be 1/3 (without the minus sign).
What is 1 plus negative 2?
-1+2=1 If you have a negative number and a positive number subtract them. If the negative number is higher than the other number then it is negative. To change the expression but keep the answer the same you can do 2-1=1. Take out the addition sign and switch the numbers.
Which is the largest out of -1 -3 -2.7 and -4?
Since the numbers are all negative, the one with the SMALLEST absolute value (that is, the one that would be smallest if you take away the sign is the LARGEST number.
How do you add or subtract integer?
you take the first number, then add it to the other number: 2+1=3 negative integers are different: -2+1= -1 Negative and negative: -2-1= -3
What is the product of the smallest 3-digit whole number and the largest negative integer?

What is the whole number that is not divisible by 2?
All odd whole numbers are not divisible by 2.The term "whole number" has three distinct definitions, in my experience.- Positive Integers ( 1, 2, 3, ... )- Non-Negative Integers ( 0, 1, 2, 3, ... )- Integers ( ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... )The largest whole number that is not divisible by two would be the largest odd number, which is not defined.The smallest Positive Integer which is not divisible by two would be 1.The smallest Non-Negative Integer which is not divisible by two would be 0.The smallest Integer which is not divisible by two would be the most negative odd number, which is not defined.
