Subtraction and division are not commutative.
The distributive property applies to division in the same way that it applies to multiplication. However, the concept of “breaking apart” or “distributing” can be applied with division only by dividing the numerator into smaller amounts that are exactly divisible by the divisor.
Do you know why division is not under closure property? The division is not under closure property because division by zero is not defined. We can also say that except '0' all numbers are closed under division.
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.
For Division: For any two numbers (A, B) commutative property for division is given as A ÷ B ≠ B ÷ A. For example, (6 ÷ 3) ≠ (3 ÷ 6) = 2 ≠ 1/2. You will find that expressions on both sides are not equal. So division is not commutative for the given numbers.
If the division of two numbers from a set always produces a number in the set, we have closure under division. The set of whole numbers are not closed under division, and the set of integers are not closed under division because they both produce fractions.
As you can see, the two expressions have different results, so the associative property is not satisfied under division. This is because division is not associative, meaning that the order in which you perform divisions matters.
If the division of two numbers from a set always produces a number in the set, we have closure under division. The set of whole numbers are not closed under division, and the set of integers are not closed under division because they both produce fractions.
Closure property for Integers 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.
Closure Property under Multiplication Real numbers are closed when they are multiplied because the product of two real numbers is always a real number. Natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers all have the closure property of multiplication.
