Hi there! No worries at all, I'm here to help with your questions.
To determine if seven eighths (7/8) is an integer, we need to understand what an integer is. An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. Fractions, on the other hand, represent parts of a whole and can be written as ratios of integers.
In the case of 7/8, it is a fraction and not an integer. It represents seven parts out of eight equal parts. Although it is close to 1 (an integer), it is not a whole number itself.
If you ever have a fraction and you want to determine if it can be simplified to a whole number (integer), you can check if the numerator (the top number) is divisible evenly by the denominator (the bottom number). In this case, 7 is not divisible evenly by 8, so it cannot be simplified to an integer.
