Which set of numbers can include negative values?

Whole numbers
Naturals numbers
Integers
Rational numbers

The correct answer is: Integers

The set of numbers that can include negative values is the set of integers. Integers encompass all whole numbers and their negative counterparts, which means they include values such as -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3, among others. This characteristic sets integers apart from whole numbers and natural numbers, which do not contain any negative values. Whole numbers start from 0 and include only non-negative values, while natural numbers begin from 1 and also do not encompass negative numbers. Rational numbers can be positive or negative since they include all values that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, but that includes integers themselves as subsets. Thus, integers are definitely inclusive of negative values.
