Add two positive integers and you ALWAYS have a positive integers. The positive integers are closed under addition.
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).
No, the natural numbers are not closed under division. For example, 2 and 3 are natural numbers, but 2/3 is not.
division
False. The set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction. Closure under subtraction means that when you subtract two whole numbers, the result is also a whole number. However, this is not always the case with whole numbers. For example, subtracting 5 from 3 results in -2, which is not a whole number.
No, they are not.
Integers are closed under division I think o.o. It's either counting numbers, integers or whole numbers . I cant remember :/
They are not the same!The set of integers is closed under multiplication but not under division.Multiplication is commutative, division is not.Multiplication is associative, division is not.
The set of rational numbers is closed under division, the set of integers is not.
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.
No. For example, 5 is an odd integer and 3 is an odd integer, yet 5/3 is neither an integer nor odd (as odd numbers are, by definition, integers).
I am not sure there are any fundamental operations of integers. The fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. However, the set of integers is not closed with respect to division: that is, the division of one integer by another does not necessarily result in an integer.
Integers are the natural numbers (counting numbers: 1,2,3,etc.), and their negative counterparts, and zero. The set of Integers is closed for addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but not division. Closed means that the answer will be a part of the set. Example: 1/3 (1 divided by 3 equals one third) is not an integer, even though both 1 and 3 are integers.
Add two positive integers and you ALWAYS have a positive integers. The positive integers are closed under addition.
There is no law of closure. Closure is a property that some sets have with respect to a binary operation. For example, consider the set of even integers and the operation of addition. If you take any two members of the set (that is any two even integers), then their sum is also an even integer. This implies that the set of even integers is closed with respect to addition. But the set of odd integers is not closed with respect to addition since the sum of two odd integers is not odd. Neither set is closed with respect to division.
Subtraction: Yes. Division: No. 2/4 = is not an integer, let alone an even integer.
Closure depends on the set as much as it depends on the operation.For example, subtraction is closed for all integers but not for natural numbers. Division by a non-zero number is closed for the rational numbers but not integers.The set {1, 2, 3} is not closed under addition.
