Closure property of rational numbers under subtraction: The difference between any two rational numbers will always be a rational number, i.e. if a and b are any two rational numbers, a – b will 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.
Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
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.
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.
In addition, we have proved that even the set of irrationals also is neither open nor closed.
It suffices to show that for every real number r and every ϵ>0, there is at least one rational q which is "ϵ-close" to r (that is, |r−q|≤ϵ), since this will show that every open ball around r contains a rational. This shows that the complement of Q has empty interior, so the closure of Q is all of R.
The algebraic closure A of Q is the field of algebraic numbers, which consists of those complex numbers which are roots of some non-zero polynomial in one variable with rational coefficients. It is a countable set and therefore A⊊C.
