: The *rational integers* or just *integers*
$0, 1, 2, 3, ...$
: The *non-negative integers*
$1,2,3,...$
: The *positive integers* -- these are the primary subject of number theory (a.k.a "arithmetic")
An integer $a$ is *divisible* by a non-zero integer $b$ if there is a $c$ such that
$$a = bc$$
If $a$ and $b$ are positive, so is $c$
$b\mid a$
: $b$ is a *divisor* of $a$ ($a$ is divisible by $b$)
$b\nmid a$
: $b$ is not a divisor of $a$
For all $a$, $1\mid a$ and $a\mid a$; For non-zero $b$, $b\mid 0$.
When $c\neq0$:
$$\begin{align}
b\mid a . c\mid b &\to c\mid a\\
b\mid a &\to bc\mid ac\\
\end{align}$$
and
$$c\mid a . c\mid b \to c\mid ma + nb$$
for all integers $m$ and $n$
