Are the words: integer and integral have the same origin? Are they relative words?

What do you find if you search for their etymology?

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".
