All the elements in a group must be invertible with respect to the operation. The element 0, which belongs to the set does not have an inverse wrt multiplication.

Does the set of rational number overlap the set of irrational numbers why?
By definition, the two sets do not overlap. This is because the irrationals are defined as the set of real numbers that are not members of the rationals.
Why the set of rationals is not complete?
Factional exponents, in general, are not rational. For example, the length of the diagonal of a unit square, which is sqrt(2).
Name set which -10 belongs Ex-whole integers rational?
Negative integers, integers, negative rationals, rationals, negative reals, reals, complex numbers are some sets with specific names. There are lots more test without specific names to which -10 belongs.
Is the set of composite number closed under multiplication?
Is { 0, 20 } closed under multiplication
Is the set of all real numbers continuous and the set of all integers discrete?
Yes, every Cauchy sequence of real numbers is convergent. In other words, the real numbers contain all real limits and are therefore continuous, and yes the integers are discrete in that the set of integers only contains (very very few, with respect to the set of rationals) rational numbers, i.e. their values can always be accurately displayed unlike the set of reals which is dense with irrational numbers. It's so dense with irrationals in fact, that by comparison, the set of rationals can be called a null set, however that is a different topic.
Does the set of even integers form a group under the operation of multiplication?
No. The inverses do not belong to the group.
Is the set of all integers a group under multiplication?
No. The set does not include inverses.
What is the identity property of multiplication and addition?
The identity property of multiplication asserts the existence of an element, denoted by 1, such that for every element x in a set (of integers, rationals, reals or complex numbers), 1*x = x*1 = x The identity property of addition asserts the existence of an element, denoted by 0, such that for every element y in a set (of integers, rationals, reals or complex numbers), 0+y = y+0 = y
What is a set of rational numbers that begin at 0?
It could be the set denoted by Q- (the non-positive rationals) or Q+ (the non-negative rationals).
Example of group is an abelian group?
The set of integers, under addition.
What is the intersection of the rational numbers and the irrational numbers?
Some would say that there is no intersection. However, if the set of irrational numbers is considered as a group then closure requires rationals to be a proper subset of the irrationals.
What is always true about whole numbers?
They form a closed set under addition, subtraction or multiplication.
What set of numbers does -23 belong to?
Integers, rationals, reals, complex numbers, etc.
Does the set of irrational numbers with the usual addition and multiplication form a field?
Strictly speaking, no, because the identity for addition 0, and the identity for multiplication, 1 are not irrationals.
The number -4 is what set of numbers?
The number -4 belongs to the set of all integers. It also belongs to the rationals, reals, complex numbers.
Is the set of irrational numbers a group under the operation of multiplication?
No. It is not even closed. sqrt(3)*sqrt(3) = 3 - which is rational.
What is the meaning of identify property of multiplication?
it identify the multiplication in a whole set of the multiplication it express the property of it
