Different sets of numbers have different properties. For example,

The set of counting numbers is closed under addition but not under subtraction.

The set of integers is closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication but not under division.

Rational numbers are closed under all four basic operations of arithmetic, but not for square roots.


A set S is "closed" with respect to operation # if whenever x and y are any two elements of S, then x#y is also in S. y = 0 is excluded for division.


So, the answer depends on what you mean by "number".
