Why is division not closed for rational numbers give an example?
If a set is closed under an operation. then the answer will be a part of that set. If you add, subtract or multiply any two rational numbers you get another national number. But when it comes to division, it is closed except for one number and that is ZERO. eg 3.56 (rational number) ÷ 0 = no answer. Since no answer is not a rational number, that rational numbers are not closed under the operation of division.
What are the properties of rational numbers?
what are the seven properties of rational numbers
How is a rational number defined?
A rational number is a continuous quantity that is a quotient of two integers in which the second integer is a natural number. Rational numbers include the integers as well as non-integers such as fractions and decimals. Rational numbers are the direct result of the arithmetical operation of division.
Can irrational numbers be clasified as a rational number?
No because they have different mathematical properties
Can the operation subtraction have properties?
Not by itself. A mathematical operation has properties in the context of a set over which it is defined. It is possible to have a set over which properties are not valid.Having said that, the set of rational numbers is closed under subtraction, as is the set of real numbers or complex numbers.Multiplication is distributive over subtraction.
