Integers
The set of integers includes whole numbers and negative numbers. It is denoted by Z and can be
represented as Z = {…, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}.
Here, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, … are called positive integers whereas Remember
the numbers −1, −2, −3, −4, … are called negative integers.
0 is neither negative nor positive.
Representation of Integers on the Number Line
To represent integers on a number line, we draw a line and Mark ‘0’ almost at the centre of the line.
On the right hand side of 0, mark positive integers and on the left hand side of 0 mark negative
integers as shown below:
−5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4 5

As we have already learnt the rules of comparison of integers in our previous classes, so let us revisit them.
1. Every positive integer is always greater than every
negative integer. Remember
2. Zero is less than every positive integer and is greater There is no integer between any two
consecutive integers, say, −13 and −14.
than every negative integer.
3. If a and b are two positive integers such that a > b, then −a < −b.
4. By convention, the number occurring to the right is greater than that on the left of a number line.
5. −1 is the largest negative number.
Addition of Integers
To perform addition of integers, let us revise some of the rules of addition of integers.
Rule 1: When you add two integers having the same sign, add the numbers without the sign
and apply the same sign as that of the two integers
For example, (+6) + (+2) = +8 (−6) + (−2) = −8
Rule 2: While adding a positive and a negative integer, we first consider the numbers without their
signs, find the difference between the two and give the sign of the bigger number to the answer.
For example, −4 + (+6) = +2 −12 + (+3) = −9
Now, consider the earlier example of the two shopkeepers with bank balances ₹ 12,600 and − ₹ 10,500.
If we need to find the total of their balances, we will need to find 12600 + (−10500).
Thus, 12600 + (−10500) = + (12600 − 10500) = ₹ 2100
Subtraction of Integers
To perform subtraction, let us revise the method for subtraction of integers.
When we subtract two integers, we add the opposite of the subtrahend (additive inverse) to the
minuend, i.e., a − b = a + (− b).
Consider the earlier example and find the difference between the balances of the two bank
accounts. Thus, here we need to find 12600 − (−10500).
Thus, 12600 − (−10500) = 12600 + 10500 [additive inverse of −10500 is 10500]
= 23100.
So the difference in the bank balances is ₹ 23,100.
Solved Examples
Example 1: Solve [(−39) + (−11) − 45 − 55 + 50] by applying properties of integers.
Solution: [(−39) + (−11)] + (−45 − 55) + 50 (using commutative and associative property)
= (−50) + (−100) + 50
= [(−50) + 50] + (−100) (using associative property)
= 0 + (−100) = −100
Example 2: Verify: (−15) + [(−3) + (−12)] = [(−15) + (−3)] + (−12)
Solution: LHS = (−15) + [(−3) + (−12)]
= (−15) + (−15) = (−30)
RHS = [(−15) + (−3)] + (−12)
= (−18) + (−12) = (−30)
LHS = RHS, hence verified.
Example 3: Draw a number line and represent each of the following on it:
a. 5 + (−6) b. (−8) − (−3)
Solution: a. 5 + (−6)
We start from 5. We need to add −6. This is the same as subtracting 6. So we
move 6 steps to the left, to reach −1.
−10 −9 −8 −7 −6 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
b. −8 − (−3)
We start from −8. We need to subtract −3 from it. This is the same as adding 3. So we
move 3 steps to the right, to reach −5.
−8 −7 −6 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
Example 4: The temperature inside a refrigerator is −4 °C. When the electricity supply is turned off,
the temperature rises by 3 °C every hour. What is the temperature in the refrigerator
3 hours after the electricity is turned off?
Solution: Initial temperature = −4 °C
After 3 hours, the temperature in the refrigerator = −4 + 3 + 3 + 3 = − 4 + 9 = 5 °C
Example 5: An elevator is on the 14th floor. If it goes up 7 floors and then comes down 19 floors,
then on which floor is the elevator now?
Solution: Initial floor of elevator = 14
Position after going 7 floors up = 14 + 7 = 21
Position after coming 19 floors down = 21 − 19 = 2
∴ Current position of elevator = 2nd floor

c. [(−5) + 7] + (−18) = 7 + [(−5) + (−18)] d. 876 + (−876) = (−876) − (−876)
Multiplication of Integers
We know that multiplication is repeated addition of the same number, i.e., 2 + 2 + 2 = 3 × 2 = 6
Similarly, we can find the value of 3 × −2 i.e. (−2) + (−2) + (−2).
−6 −4 −2 0
Thus, 3 × (−2) = (−6)
Now, let us find (−2) × 3.
For this, observe the following pattern.
We have 2 × 3 = 6
1×3=3=6−3
0×3=0=3−3
−1 × 3 = 0 − 3 = −3
−2 × 3 = −3 − 3 = −6

c. 0 × (−1) × 2(−3) × 4 × (−5) = 0 {∴ 0 × a = 0, for any integer a ∈ Z}

Division of Integers
Let us learn about how to divide integers.
We know that division is the reverse of multiplication, i.e., 6 × 2 = 12 gives 12 ÷ 2 = 6 and 12 ÷ 6 = 2.
Similarly, (−6) × 2 = −12 gives (−12) ÷ 2 = (−6) and (−12) ÷ (−6) = 2.
Thus, we get the following rules while dividing integers.
Associative property: For any three integers a, b and c, [12 ÷ (−3)] ÷ 4 = (−4) ÷ 4 = − 1; 12 ÷ [−3 ÷ 4] =
(a ÷ b) ÷ c ≠ a ÷ (b ÷ c) -3
12 ÷ æç ö÷ = 12 ×
4
= -16
è ø
4 ( -3)
∴ [12 ÷ (−3)] ÷ 4 ≠ 12 ÷ [−3 ÷ 4]
Division of an integer by itself: For any integer a, a ÷ a = 1 (−4) ÷ (−4) = 1
Zero property: For any integer a, 0 ÷ a = 0 0 ÷ (−9) = 0
Division of an integer by its additive inverse and−1: If a (a ≠ 0) 4 -3
= -1; =3
is any integer, then a ÷ (−a) = −1, (−a) ÷ a = −1, a ÷ (−1) = −a -4 ( -1)

Solved Examples
Example 1: Simplify: 11 + [− 7 − {− 3 + 8 × (6 − 2 − 3 + 5 − 4) ÷ 17}]
Solution: Let’s simplify.
Step 1: First simplify the terms under the bar.
That is, 3 + 5 − 4 = 8 − 4 = 4
∴ 11 + [− 7 − {− 3 + 8 × (6 − 2 − 3 + 5 − 4) ÷ 17}] = 11 + [− 7 − {− 3 + 8 × (6 − 2 − 4) ÷ 17}]
Step 2: To remove the round brackets, simplify the terms within these brackets.
That is, 6 − 2 − 4 = 6 − 6 = 0
∴ 11 + [− 7 − {− 3 + 8 × (6 − 2 − 4) ÷ 17}] = 11 + [− 7 − {− 3 + 8 × 0 ÷ 17}]
