Definition:
Set of integers is denoted by Z and defined as:
Z = {0,±1, ±2, ±3,...}
Set of positive integers
Z+ = {1, 2, 3, ...}
Set of negative integers
Z- = {-1, -2, -3, ...}
Set of non-positive integers
Z = {0, -1, -2, -3, ...}
Set of non-negative integers
Z = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
Note:
In non-positive and non-negative integer, we cannot denote them by Z+ and Z- respectively.
Divisibility:
Let a,b belongs to Z, then b is said to be divisible by a, where a does not equal to 0(Zero) if c belongs to Z, exist. Such that
b = ac
Where a is called divisor or factor of b and b is called multiple of a.
Symbolically, we write a | b, if a divides b and a.
