You don't say that "an integer is closed". It is the SET of integers which is closed UNDER A SPECIFIC OPERATION. For example, the SET of integers is closed under the operations of addition and multiplication. That means that an addition of two members of the set (two integers in this case) will again give you a member of the set (an integer in this case).

True or False The set of whole numbers is closed under subtraction Why?
A set is closed under a particular operation (like division, addition, subtraction, etc) if whenever two elements of the set are combined by the operation, the answer is always an element of the original set. Examples: I) The positive integers are closed under addition, because adding any two positive integers gives another positive integer. II) The integers are notclosed under division, because it is not true that an integer divided by an integer is an integer (as in the case of 1 divided by 5, for example). In this case, the answer depends on the definition of "whole numbers". If this term is taken to mean positive whole numbers (1, 2, 3, ...), then the answer is no, they are not closed under subtraction, because it is possible to subtract two positive whole numbers and get an answer that is not a positive whole number (as in the case of 1 - 10 = -9, which is not a positive whole number)
What does s-p interval mean?

How do you write 28500 as a decimal number?
The number 28500 is an integer, so it is 28500.0000... . The zeros to the right mean it is an integer. The three dots mean the zeros continue forever (ad infinitude). If the number is not an integer, like 3 3/4, change the 3/4 to a decimal and add to 3: 3/4=.75, 3 3/4=3.75.
What does closed mean in algebra?

Is the set of integers closed under subtraction?
yes, because an integer is a positive or negative, rational, whole number. when you subject integers, you still get a positive or negative, rational, whole number, which means that under the closure property of real numbers, the set of integers is closed under subtraction.
What does an integer plus another integer equal?
an integer plus and integer will always be an integer. We say integers are closed under addition.
What does it mean to say that integers are closed under addition?
Any time you add integers, the sum will be another integer.
What is an counterexample of the set of negative integers is closed under the operation of taking the absolute value?
-3 is a negative integer. The absolute value of -3 is +3 which is not a negative integer. So the set is not closed.
Are integers closed under division?
No. Integers are not closed under division because they consist of negative and positive whole numbers. 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.
Is 2 1517 an integer?
