Yes. That means that the product of two whole numbers is defined, and that it is again a whole number.

Are whole numbers closed for multiplication?

no


Are the sums and products of whole numbers always whole numbers?

Yes, the whole numbers are closed with respect to addition and multiplication (but not division).The term "whole numbers" is not always consistently defined, but is usually taken to mean either the positive integers or the non-negative integers (the positive integers and zero). In either of these cases, it also isn't closed with respect to subtraction. Some authors treat it as a synonym for "integers", in which case it is closed with respect to subtraction (but still not with respect to division).


Is the set of whole numbers are closed under multiplication?

If you can never, by multiplying two whole numbers, get anything but another whole number back as your answer, then, YES, the set of whole numbers must be closed under multiplication.

Which set of numbers forms a field with respect to the operations of addition and multiplication?

What is the set of whole numbers closed by?

If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.


What operation are whole numbers closed under?

l think multiplication


Why are odd integers closed under multiplication but not under addition?

The numbers are not closed under addition because whole numbers, even integers, and natural numbers are closed.


What is the principle of closure math?

When you combine any two numbers in a set the result is also in that set. e.g. The set of whole numbers is closed with respect to addition, subtraction and multiplication. i.e. when you add, subtract or multiply two numbers the answer will always be a whole number. But the set of whole numbers is NOT closed with respect to division as the answer is not always a whole number e.g. 7÷5=1.4 The answer is not a whole number.


What is always true about whole numbers?

They form a closed set under addition, subtraction or multiplication.


Is the set of even whole numbers closed under multiplication?

Yes, it is closed. This means that if you multiply two even number, you again get a number within the set of even numbers.
