Closure Property A natural number is closed under addition and multiplication. This means that adding or multiplying two natural numbers results in a natural number. However, for subtraction and division, natural numbers do not follow closure property. When a and b are two natural numbers, a+b is also a natural number.

Natural numbers are a part of the number system which includes all the positive integers from 1 till infinity and are also used for counting purpose. It does not include zero (0). In fact, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9…., are also called counting numbers.

Closure property of natural numbers states that the. Let's check for all four arithmetic operations and for all a, b ∈ N. Addition: 1 + 5 = 6, 7 + 4 = 11, etc. Clearly, the resulting number or the sum is a natural number.
The set of real numbers is closed under multiplication. If you multiply two real numbers, you will get another real number. There is no possibility of ever getting anything other than another real 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.
Closure Property A natural number is closed under addition and multiplication. This means that adding or multiplying two natural numbers results in a natural number. However, for subtraction and division, natural numbers do not follow closure property. When a and b are two natural numbers, a+b is also a natural number.
This means that dividing two natural numbers doesn't necessarily result in another natural number. If you divide 3 by 2, for example, you get 1.5, which is not a natural number, thereby demonstrating that the set of natural numbers is not closed under division.
Closure property holds for addition and multiplication of whole numbers. Closure property of whole numbers under addition: The sum of any two whole numbers will always be a whole number, i.e. if a and b are any two whole numbers, a + b will be a whole number.
