Why are harmonics integer multiples?

Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. For example, if the fundamental frequency is 50 Hz (also known as the first harmonic) then the second harmonic will be 100 Hz (50 * 2 = 100 Hz), the third harmonic will be 150 Hz (50 * 3 = 150 Hz), and so on.

Is frequency always an integer?

Frequency is the number of times a value occurs, so it will always be an integer.

What are harmonic waves?

A harmonic is a wave or signal whose frequency is an integral (whole number) multiple of the frequency of the same reference signal or wave. As part of the harmonic series, the term can also refer to the ratio of the frequency of such a signal or wave to the frequency of the reference signal or wave.
