Identity Property This property states that when zero is added to a whole number, the result is the whole number itself. This makes zero the additive identity for the whole numbers. For example, 0 + 8 = 8 = 8 + 0 .
Ing to the Closure Property “Whole numbers are closed under addition and multiplication”. It means, when we add or multiply two whole numbers, then the resulting value is also a whole number.
Closure property holds for addition, subtraction and multiplication of integers. Closure property of integers under addition: The sum of any two integers will always be an integer, i.e. if a and b are any two integers, a + b will be an integer.
The whole numbers are the numbers without fractions and it is a collection of positive integers and zero. It is represented by the symbol “W” and the set of numbers are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,……………}. Zero as a whole represents nothing or a null value. Whole Numbers: W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10……}
The property satisfied by the division of whole numbers is. Closure property.
If the operation on any two numbers in the set produces a number which is in the set, we have closure. We found that the set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction, but the set of integers is closed under subtraction.
Addition and multiplication on whole numbers follow the property of closure, but subtraction and division do not follow.
Whole numbers are not closed under division i.e., a ÷ b is not always a whole number. From the property, we have, 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (whole number) but 7 ÷ 14 = ½ (not a whole number).
Closure Property Multiplication of two whole numbers will result in a whole number. Suppose, a and b are the two whole numbers and a × b = c, then c is also a whole number. Let a = 10, b = 5, 10 × 5 = 50 (whole number). The whole number is closed under multiplication.
