★ ★The properties of multiplication of integers are :-
• Closure Property
• Commutative Property
•Multiplication by zero
•Multiplicative identity
•Associative property
•Distributive property
✰✰ Closure Property :-
According to this property, if two integers a and b are multiplied then their resultant a × b is also an integer. Therefore, integers are closed under multiplication.
a × b is an integer, for every integer a and b.
☞ For example :-
– 10 × (– 5) = 50
40 × (– 15) = – 600
✰✰Commutative Property :-
The commutative property of multiplication of integers states that altering the order of operands or the integers does not affect the result of the multiplication.
a × b = b × a, for every integer a and b.
☞ For example :-
5 × (– 6) = – 30 and (– 6) × 5 = – 30
Hence,
5 × (– 6) = (– 6) × 5
✰✰Multiplication by zero:-
On multiplying any integer by zero the result is always zero. In general, if a and b are two integers then,
a × 0 = 0 × a = 0
☞ For example :-
4× 0 = 0
– 7 × 0 = 0
✰✰Multiplicative identity:-
On multiplying any integer by 1 the result obtained is the integer itself. In general, if a and b are two integers then,
a × 1 = 1 × a = a
Therefore 1 is the Multiplicative Identity of Integers.
☞ For example :-
5 x 1 = 5
1 x (- 7) = -7
✰✰ Associative property:-
The result of the product of three or more integers is irrespective of the grouping of these integers. In general, if a, b and c are three integers then,
a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c
☞ For example :-
4( 3 × 2) = ( 4 × 3) 2
✰✰Distributive property:-
According to the distributive property of multiplication of integers, if a, b and c are three integers then,
a× (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
☞ For example :-
12 x (9 + 7) = 12 x 16 = 192
12 x (9 + 7) = 12 x 9 + 12 x 7 = 108 + 84 = 192
Thus, 12 x (9 + 7) = (12 x 9) + (12 x 7)
