The closure property of integers does not hold true for the division of integers as the division of two integers may not always result in an integer. For example, we know that 3 and 4 are integers but 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 which is not an integer. Therefore, the closure property is not applicable to the division of integers.
Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Rational numbers are closed under addition and multiplication but not under subtraction.
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.
Rational numbers are not closed under division. This is because if we divide any number by 0, the result is not defined.
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 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.
Answer: So, adding two rationals is the same as adding two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Thus, adding two rational numbers produces another rational number. Rationals are closed under addition (subtraction).
The closure property of rational numbers states that when any two rational numbers are added, subtracted, or multiplied, the result of all three cases will also be a rational number.
