Question

Associative property of division of rational numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

if x and y are two rational no. such that y=0 then the result of dividing x and y is the rational no. obtained on multiplying x by the reciprocal of y

Answer 2

Question :-

Discuss about the associative property of division of rational numbers.

Answer :-

Division is not associative on rational numbers.

That is, if a/b, c/d and e/f are three rational numbers such that c/d ≠ 0 and e/f ≠0 then a/b ÷ ( c/d ÷ e/f) ≠ (a/b ÷ c/d) ÷ e/f . Division of rational number lacks this property.

Know More :-

• Subtraction is not associative on rational numbers just like division.
• Addition and Multiplication is associative on rational numbers.
• Division lack the closure property and it is not commutative on rational numbers.
