egészszámos

egészszámos is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "whole number" or "integer" in English. It refers to numbers that are not fractions or decimals, and can be positive, negative, or zero. In mathematics, the set of all integers is denoted by the symbol Z. This includes numbers like -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, extending infinitely in both positive and negative directions.

The concept of whole numbers is fundamental to arithmetic and number theory. Operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication performed on whole numbers always result in another whole number. However, division of two whole numbers does not always yield a whole number, which leads to the concept of rational numbers.

In computer science, whole numbers are often represented using specific data types, such as integers (int). These data types have a limited range depending on the system's architecture, meaning they can only store whole numbers within a certain boundary. Understanding the properties of whole numbers is crucial for various mathematical and computational tasks, from basic counting to complex algorithmic design.
