The properties for real numbers are as follows:
- closure: for any numbers x and y, x + y is a real number.
- associativity: for any numbers x, y and z, x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z = x + y + z
- identity: for any number x, there is a number, denoted by 0, such that x + 0 = x = 0 + x
- Invertibility: for any number x, there is a number denoted by -x such that x + (-x) = (-x) + x = 0
- Commutativity: for any numbers x and y, x + y = y + x.

What are the properties of number?
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".
Is a rational number closed under addition?
No. A number cannot be closed under addition: only a set can be closed. The set of rational numbers is closed under addition.
What are 5 properties of addition that apply to rational numbers?
The set of rational number satisfies the following properties with regard to addition: for any three rational numbers x, y and z, · x + y is a rational number (closure under addition) · (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) (associative property of addition) · There is a rational number, 0, such that x + 0 = 0 + x = x (existence of additive identity) · There is a rational number, -x, such that x + (-x) = (-x) + x = 0 (existence of additive inverse) · x + y = y + x (Abelian or commutative property of addition)
Are real numbers closed under addition and subtraction?
Real numbers are closed under addition and subtraction. To get a number outside the real number system you would have to use square root.
Why are natural numbers not under addition?
Natural numbers are actually closed under addition. If you add any two if them, the result will always be another natural number.
