Why are odd integers closed under multiplication but not under addition?

The numbers are not closed under addition because whole numbers, even integers, and natural numbers are closed.


Under which operation is the set of odd integers closed?

addition


Why the set of odd integers under addition is not a group?

Because the set is not closed under addition. If x and y are odd, then x + y is not odd.


What is closed and not-closed under addition?

The set of even numbers is closed under addition, the set of odd numbers is not.


Give two reason for the set of odd integers is not a group?

Assuming that the question is in the context of the operation "addition", The set of odd numbers is not closed under addition. That is to say, if x and y are members of the set (x and y are odd) then x+y not odd and so not a member of the set. There is no identity element in the group such that x+i = i+x = x for all x in the group. The identity element under addition of integers is zero which is not a member of the set of odd numbers.


Are odd numbered sets closed under addition and multiplication?

No. 1 + 3 = 4, which is not odd. In fact, no pair of odds sums to an odd. So the set is not closed under addition.


Is the set of odd numbers closed under addition?

no


What are examples of the law of closure in Mathematics?

There is no law of closure. Closure is a property that some sets have with respect to a binary operation. For example, consider the set of even integers and the operation of addition. If you take any two members of the set (that is any two even integers), then their sum is also an even integer. This implies that the set of even integers is closed with respect to addition. But the set of odd integers is not closed with respect to addition since the sum of two odd integers is not odd. Neither set is closed with respect to division.


Is the set of odd integers closed under division?

No. For example, 5 is an odd integer and 3 is an odd integer, yet 5/3 is neither an integer nor odd (as odd numbers are, by definition, integers).


Which set is closed under the given operation 1 integers under division 2 negative integers under subtraction 3 odd integers under multiplication?

1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes.


Is the set of odd numbers is closed under multiplication but is not under addition?

Let + (addition) be a binary operation on the set of odd numbers S. The set S is closed under + if for all a, b ϵ S, we also have a + b ϵ S. Let 3, 5 ϵ the set of odd numbers 3 + 5 = 8 (8 is not an odd number) Since 3 + 5 = 8 is not an element of the set of the odd numbers, the set of the odd numbers is not closed under addition.


Are odd numbers closed under subtraction?
