Which of these integers is the greatest?

Class 6IntegersIntegers
  • A−1
  • B−100
  • C0
  • D−25

Step-by-Step Solution

Among −1, −100, 0 and −25, zero is the only one that is not negative, so it sits furthest to the right and is the greatest.
Answer: C) 0

Key idea: Comparing integers

On the number line, the integer on the **right** is the **larger** one. So 5 > 2, but also −2 > −5. This often surprises students: even though 5 is bigger than 2, **−5 is smaller than −2**, because −5 is further to the left. Any positive integer is larger than any negative integer, and zero sits between them.
