Answer:
Negative infinity (-∞)
Explanation:
Integers are numbers that are whole (not fractional) and can be positive, negative, or zero.
The numbers 3, -1098, 0, 449, and 85550 are some examples of integer as they meet the requirement to be an integer and that is being whole. However, numbers such as -2/4, √9977366, and 6.8353 are not considered as an integer as they are only fraction or part of a whole or they have a fractional component.
Back into your question, understanding integers will answer your question already. As we all know, zero is smaller than positive and negative is smaller than zero. So, negative is the smallest. However, unlike in positive where 1 is the smallest number, -1 has the biggest value. -2 is smaller than -1 and there are endless numbers that are still smaller than what you can write or think of. That's why the answer is negative infinity or -∞.
