Are natural numbers closed under division?
No. Closed means that you could do the operation (division) on any two natural numbers and you would get a result in the natural numbers. Take 7/3 for example, this is obviously not a natural number.
Is natural numbers a closed set under subtraction?
No.A set is closed under subtraction if when you subtract any two numbers in the set, the answer is always a member of the set.The natural numbers are 1,2,3,4, ... If you subtract 5 from 3 the answer is -2 which is not a natural number.
What is a counterexample for the rational numbers are closed under the operation of taking a square root?
2 = 2/1 is rational. Sqrt(2) is not rational.
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.
Are rational numbers closed under subtraction?
Yes. They are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. The rational numbers WITHOUT ZERO are closed under division.
