Are the words: integer and integral have the same origin? Are they relative words?
 
Yes, they are "related" (not relative) words. The English word "integer" is from the Latin word "integer" meaning "whole", "complete", "intact" (etymonline.com). "Integral", meaning "related to the whole" is also from the Latin "integer".
