The order of the integers from least to greatest is #{-25,-15,-3,2,26}#

Explanation:

When we have to order integers or even rational numbers

  • negative numbers are smaller and greater the the value (one can say absolute value i.e. without #-# sign) smaller the number. Hence among given numbers #-25# is least and then comes #-15# and finally #-3#, the largest among negative numbers.
  • Then, if you have #0# (here we do not have)
  • and finally positive numbers from smallest to largest. Here #2# cis smaller and then comes #26#.

Hence, the order of the integers in the set #-15, 2, 26, -25, -3#

from least to greatest is #{-25,-15,-3,2,26}#
