Defining Integers for Professional Data Standards

Imagine you are drafting a section for a company's data-entry handbook to help new employees understand how to categorize numerical information. Write a brief essay that defines the term 'integer' and identifies the three specific categories of numbers that form the set of integers. In your response, clearly state the primary characteristic that distinguishes an integer from a decimal or fractional number, and provide two professional examples (such as in inventory management or accounting) where integers are used to represent gains or losses.
