The identity element of a set S, with respect to a binary operation ~ is an element of S, denoted by i such that, for every element x, of S,
x~i = i~x = x
With the "normal" sets of numbers, if the operation is addition, then the identity element is 0, and the identity property is x + 0 = 0 + x = x
If the operation is multiplication, the identity element is 1, and the identity property is x * 1 = 1 * x = x.
