FAQ
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.
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.
In addition, we have proved that even the set of irrationals also is neither open nor closed.
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.
Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

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.
Conclusion. It is evident that rational numbers can be expressed both in fraction form and decimals. An irrational number, on the other hand, can only be expressed in decimals and not in a fraction form. Moreover, all the integers are rational numbers, but all the non-integers are not irrational numbers.
The associative property states that the sum or the product of three or more numbers does not change if they are grouped in a different way. This associative property is applicable to addition and multiplication. It is expressed as, (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) and (A × B) × C = A × (B × C).
