Answer:
The statement is wrong. a-b can be positive but not always.
Step-by-step explanation:
There can be three possible situations that are:
- a>b
- a<b
- a=b
Now taking first condition, the result will be positive because a smaller integer is subtracted from a greater one. Such as 5-2=3
In second condition, the result will be negative because a greater integer is subtracted from smaller one. Such as 2-5= -3
In the third condition, the result will always be zero because both the integers will cancel each other. Such as 5-5=0

5*4*3*2*1=120 ways
if you count 0 in front of the number as a whole number
if you don't, then there are 96 ways
The nearest whole number is... 12560. It is already a whole number!
