Explanation

This question is asking us to consider five different numbers and answer how many of these numbers are integers. An integer is a number which can be specified without a fractional or decimal component. This means the number is either a whole number or the negative of a whole number.Let's calculate each of these fractions to see if they come out to be integers:- which is an integer.- which is not an integer.- which is an integer.- which is not an integer.- which is not an integer.Clearly, only 1 (the first fraction) and 37 (the third fraction) are whole numbers.
