Suppose X1 = N1/D1 and X2 = N2/D2 are two rational expressions, where the numerators N1 and N2 and denominators D1 and D2 are simpler expressions.
Then
X1 * X2 = (N1*N2)/(D1*D2)
and
X1 / X2 = (N1*D2)/(D1*N2).
true
Rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication. They are not closed under division, since you can't divide by zero. However, rational numbers excluding the zero are closed under division.
The inverse function of multiplication is division.
it is a replica of the same thing but backwards like 7x3=21 but in division it is 21 divided by 7=3 or 21 divided by 3 = 7

Division by a factor that can be zero.
They are closed under all except that division by zero is not defined.
Division by any non-zero number is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal.
A collection of more than one term.
Any addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of rational numbers gives you a rational result. You can consider 8 over 9 as the division of 8 by 9, so the result is rational.
The set of rational numbers is closed under all 4 basic operations.
