Closure Property of Whole Numbers Under Addition Set of whole numbers{1, 2, 3, 4, 5...} Pick any two whole numbers from the set 7 and 4 Add 7 + 4 = 11 Does the sum lie in the original set? Yes Inference Whole numbers are closed under addition
The closure property states that if a set of numbers (integers, real numbers, etc.) is closed under some operation (such as addition, subtraction, or multiplication, etc.), then performing that operation on any two numbers in the set results in the element belonging to the set.
Closure property We can say that rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. For example: (7/6)+(2/5) = 47/30. (5/6) – (1/3) = 1/2.
Closure Property Examples Add-15 + 2 = -13Sum is an integer Subtract -15 - 2 = -17 Difference is an integer Multiply -15 x 2= -30 Product is an integer Divide -15 / 2 = -7.5 Quotient is not an integer
The closure property states that for a given set and a given operation, the result of the operation on any two numbers of the set will also be an element of the set. Here are some examples of closed property: The set of whole numbers is closed under addition and multiplication (but not under subtraction and division)
For example: 3 + 4 = 7 , 0 + 0 = 0 ,etc. Hence closure property for addition in whole numbers is always true. In case of subtraction , if we subtract two whole numbers say and such that a − b = c , their difference is need not to be always a whole number. For example: 3 − 4 = − 1 , which is not a whole number.
Closure Property of Addition for Whole Numbers Addition of any two whole numbers results in a whole number only. We can represent it as a + b = W, where a and b are any two whole numbers, and W is the whole number set. For example, 0+21=21, here all numbers fall under the whole number set.
Closure property It says that when we sum up or multiply any two natural numbers, it will always result in a natural number. Here, 3, 4, and 7 are natural numbers. So this property is true. Here, 5,6, and 30 are natural numbers.
Commutative property is also referred to as the order property of multiplication. Example 1: If we take two balloons and multiply them by three, the result will be six apples. Even if we change the order of multiplication, the result will be the same.
