Yes!
To determine if a set is closed under multiplication, we need to check if the product of any two elements from the set is also an element of the same set. For example, the set of integers is closed under multiplication because the product of any two integers is always an integer. In contrast, the set of natural numbers is also closed under multiplication, while the set of rational numbers is closed under multiplication as well. However, sets like the set of positive integers and the set of even integers are also closed under multiplication.
The set of integers is not closed under multiplication and so is not a field.
If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.

No, it is not.

A set is said to be closed under multiplication if, for any two elements ( a ) and ( b ) within that set, the product ( a \times b ) is also an element of the same set. This property ensures that multiplying any two members of the set does not produce an element outside of it. For example, the set of integers is closed under multiplication because the product of any two integers is always an integer. In contrast, the set of positive integers is also closed under multiplication for the same reason.
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.
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).
1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes.
The set of integers is closed with respect to multiplication and with respect to addition.
