Why are fractions closed under addition?

For a set to be closed under any operation, the result of the operation must also be a member of the set. The result of adding fractions is another fraction, thus it is closed under addition. Remember that 8/3, 8/4, 4/4, 2/1 are all fractions - they have a numerator and denominator separated by a line (at an oblique angle on the computer screen). Improper fractions are still fractions.

NO FRACTIONS!No.For a set to be closed under an operation, the result of the operation on any members of the set must be a member of the set.When the integer one (1) is divided by the integer four (4) the result is not an integer (1/4 = 0.25) and so not member of the set; thus integers are not closed under division.
