Question

Write an example and verify the closure property for whole numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication of two whole numbers will result in a whole number. Suppose, a and b are the two whole numbers and a × b = c, then c is also a whole number. Let a = 20, b = 5, 20 × 5 = 100 (whole number). The whole number is closed under multiplication.

Answer 2

Answer:

Closure Property means that numbers in an equation are closed under a group of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

There four groups of numbers

Natural numbers,Whole numbers,Integers, Rational numbers

Let's take an example

a=4 b=3

a+b=4+3=7

All numbers in the equation belong to the same group so we can state that whole numbers are closed under addition.

other examples

b-a=4-3=1 but. a-b=4-3=1 (it is an integer)

Whole numbers are not closed under subtraction.

Same happens with Multiplication and Division

Multiplication-closed

Division-Not closed
