    The main purpose of this article is to give some criteria for the integrability of some characteristic numbers, which are integrals of characteristic classes. One is the integral to the top Chern form or the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern form of the tangent bundle. The other is the top power of the Chern class of the universal line bundle on the projectivized tangent bundle of a submanifold \(S\), where \(S\) is a complex quasiprojective submanifold of a complex manifold \(X\) endowed with a complete Kähler metric of finite volume. More precisely, the author proves the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern integral of the induced metric on \(S\) is an integer if \(S\) is a complex codimension one submanifold of \(X\) which can be compactified and \(X\) is a noncompact manifold with bounded non-positive sectional curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature bounded from above by a negative number. The author proves that all the Chern numbers of \(X\) are integers if \(X\) is a two-dimensional complex manifold with negative Ricci curvature, bounded sectional curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature bounded from above by a negative constant. The author proves also \(\int_{PS} c_ 1(L_ S)^{2m-1}\) is an integer, where \(PS\) is the projectivized tangent bundle with tautological line bundle \(L_ S\), if \(X\) is \(m\)- dimensional manifold with bounded sectional curvature, negative Ricci curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature bounded from above by a negative constant; and if \(S\) is given as the zero set of a pluricanonical section which is \(L^ \alpha\) for some \(\alpha>0\).
