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

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.


Under which operation is the set of odd integers closed?

addition


ARe odd integers not closed under addition?

That is correct, the set is not closed.


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.


What is index in group theory?

Say we have a group G, and some subgroup H. The number of cosets of H in G is called the index of H in G. This is written [G:H].If G and H are finite, [G:H] is just |G|/|H|.What if they are infinite? Here is an example. Let G be the integers under addition. Let H be the even integers under addition, a subgroup. The cosets of H in G are H and H+1. H+1 is the set of all even integers + 1, so the set of all odd integers. Here we have partitioned the integers into two cosets, even and odd integers. So [G:H] is 2.


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).


Are odd numbers closed under subtraction?

No, nor under addition, either. The sum or difference of two odd numbers is NOT an odd number.No, nor under addition, either.

Why is an odd number times an odd number an odd number?

Suppose m and n are integers. Then 2m + 1 and 2n +1 are odd integers.(2m + 1)*(2n + 1) = 4mn + 2m + 2n + 1 = 2*(2mn + m + n) + 1 Since m and n are integers, the closure of the set of integers under multiplication and addition implies that 2mn + m + n is an integer - say k. Then the product is 2k + 1 where k is an integer. That is, the product is an odd number.


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.


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.


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.
