The number 0 can be regarded as neither positive nor negative [73] or, alternatively, both positive and negative [74] and is usually displayed as the central number in a number line. Zero is even [75] (that is, a multiple of 2), and is also an integer multiple of any other integer, rational, or real number.
When 0 is said to be neither positive nor negative, the following phrases may refer to the sign of a number: A number is positive if it is greater than zero. A number is negative if it is less than zero. A number is non-negative if it is greater than or equal to zero. A number is non-positive if it is less than or equal to zero.
Negative numbers: Real numbers that are less than zero. Because zero itself has no sign, neither the positive numbers nor the negative numbers include zero. When zero is a possibility, the following terms are often used: Non-negative numbers: Real numbers that are greater than or equal to zero. Thus a non-negative number is either zero or positive.
Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three. Because zero is neither positive nor negative, the term nonnegative is sometimes used to refer to a number that is either positive or zero, while nonpositive is used to refer to a number that is either negative or zero. Zero is a neutral number.
An integer is positive if it is greater than zero, and negative if it is less than zero. Zero is defined as neither negative nor positive. The ordering of integers is compatible with the algebraic operations in the following way: If a < b and c < d, then a + c < b + d; If a < b and 0 < c, then ac < bc

Perhaps the best-known usage of the term "nothing" in mathematics is the number 0, which is neither a positive nor negative number. It's sometimes included in the set of natural numbers, denoted by , but it's always included in the set of real numbers, denoted by .
