Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The set of rational numbers are determined to be neither an open set nor a closed set. The set of rational numbers is not considered open since each neighborhood of the numbers in the set holds an irrational number.

The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a + b is also a rational number. The result is a rational number. So we say that rational numbers are closed under addition.
In addition, we have proved that even the set of irrationals also is neither open nor closed.
Closure property states that any operation conducted on elements within a set gives a result which is within the same set of elements. Integers are either positive, negative or zero. They are whole and not fractional. Integers are closed under addition.
The closure property of rational numbers states that when any two rational numbers are added, subtracted, or multiplied, the result of all three cases will also be a rational number.
The closure property of addition states that when any two elements of a set are added, their sum will also be present in that set. The closure property formula for addition for a given set S is: ∀ a, b ∈ S ⇒ a + b ∈ S.
The Closure Property: The closure property of a whole number says that when we add two Whole Numbers, the result will always be a whole number. For example, 3 + 4 = 7 (whole number).
Closure property For two rational numbers say x and y the results of addition, subtraction and multiplication operations give a rational number. We can say that rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. For example: (7/6)+(2/5) = 47/30.
