Answer:
Explanation:Closure Property
The closure property means that a set is closed for some mathematical operation. That is, a set is closed with respect to that operation if the operation can always be completed with elements in the set. Thus, a set either has or lacks closure with respect to a given operation.
For example, the set of even natural numbers, [2, 4, 6, 8, . . .], is closed with respect to addition because the sum of any two of them is another even natural number, which is also a member of the set. (Natural numbers are defined as the set: [1, 2, 3, 4, . . .].) It is not closed with respect to division because the quotients 6/2 and 4/8, for example, cannot be computed without using odd numbers (6/2 = 3) or fractions (4/8 = ½g;), which are not members of the set.
