Axiom of Completeness for set of integers

593 Views Asked by At

If $A$ is a subset of the integers $\mathbb{Z}$, and is bounded above, then A has a supremum $\alpha$ that is an element of the integers $\mathbb{Z}$. Is this statement true?

It is not true. A counterexample is $A=\varnothing$, which is bounded above by $42$, but has no supremum in $\mathbb Z$.
