Number theory is the branch of pure mathematics devoted to the study of the integers. Such a study involves an examination of the properties of that which integers are made of (namely, prime numbers) as well as the properties of objects made out of integers (such as rational numbers) or defined as generalisations of the integers (algebraic integers).
