A counterexample for the division of whole numbers is if we have 6 apples and we try to divide them equally among 4 people. Each person would get 1 apple and there would be 2 apples remaining. In this case, it is not possible to divide the apples equally among 4 people without leaving any remainder.
1/2 = 0.52/1 = 2 0.5 is not equal to 2.
There is no counterexample because the set of whole numbers is closed under addition (and subtraction).
No, the result of a division of one whole number into another might be a whole number, but could also be a fraction.

Well, honey, the statement that division of a whole number is associative is as false as claiming you can wear a swimsuit in a blizzard. Just take the numbers 10, 5, and 2 for example. (10 รท 5) รท 2 is not the same as 10 รท (5 รท 2). So, there you have it - a sassy counterexample for you!
Division by 0, which can also be written as 0.000... (repeating) is not defined.
One example is 2 divided by 4 is not a whole number
No. Not if it is a true statement. Identities and tautologies cannot have a counterexample.

8 divided by 2 does not equal 2 divided by 8. 8/2=4...2/8=0.25
No, the result of a division of one whole number into another might be a whole number, but could also be a fraction.
You can give hundreds of examples, but a single counterexample shows that natural numbers are NOT closed under subtraction or division. For example, 1 - 2 is NOT a natural number, and 1 / 2 is NOT a natural number.
