class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Now, let\u2019s discuss the properties of whole numbers with examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-closure-property\">Closure Property<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The closure property of whole numbers states that the addition or multiplication of two whole numbers will always give us a whole number. In other words, whole numbers are closed under multiplication and addition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Consider a and b to be two whole numbers such that a, $b \\in W$, then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$a + b \\rightarrow W$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$a \\times b \\rightarrow W$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The closure property does not apply over subtraction and division of whole numbers since the difference and division between two whole numbers might not give us a whole number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$4\\;-\\;7 = \\;-3$, negative integer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{4}{7} = 0.5714$, a decimal number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Also, division by the whole number zero $(0)$ gives us an undefined number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-commutative-property-of-addition-and-multiplication\">Commutative Property of Addition and Multiplication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The commutative property of whole numbers states that even if we change the order of the two whole numbers in addition and multiplication, the sum or the product stays the same. In other words, one can add or multiply two whole numbers in any order and will get the same answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Consider two whole numbers A and B, the commutative property states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">for all a, $b \\in W$,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$a + b = b + a$ \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2026 addition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u00a0$a \\times b = b \\times a$ \u2026 multiplication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">in addition: $1 + 4 = 4 + 1 = 5$,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">and in multiplication: $2 \\times 4 = 4 \\times 2 =8$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The commutativity does not apply over subtraction and division of two whole numbers. The reason being, if we change the order of the numbers during subtraction, the resulting answer will change in sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$4 \\;-\\; 2 = 2$ and $2 \\;-\\; 4 = \\;-2$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{4}{2} = 2$ and $\\frac{2}{4} = 0.5$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-associative-property-of-addition-and-multiplication\">Associative Property of Addition and Multiplication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Under the associative property, the sum or product obtained of three or more numbers remains the same even if we rearrange or regroup numbers in different order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Consider three whole numbers a, b, and c. The associative property states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$a+ \\left[b + c\\right]= \\left[a + b\\right] + c$ \u2026addition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$\\left[a \\times b\\right] \\times c = a \\times \\left[b \\times c\\right]$ \u2026multiplication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$3 + \\left[5 + 7\\right] = \\left[3 + 5\\right] + 7$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$3 + 12 = 8 + 7$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$15 = 15$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$3 \\times \\left[5 \\times 7\\right] = \\left[3 \\times 5\\right] \\times 7$<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$3\u00a0 \\times\u00a0 35 = 15\u00a0 \\times\u00a0 7$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$105 = 105$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Associative property does not apply over subtraction and division of two whole numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-distributive-property-of-multiplication-over-addition-and-subtraction\">Distributive Property of Multiplication Over Addition and Subtraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that multiplication is distributive over the sum of two or more whole numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Consider three whole numbers a, b, and c.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The associative property states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u00a0 $a \\times \\left[b + c\\right] = \\left[a \\times b\\right] + \\left[a \\times c\\right]$ \u2026multiplication over addition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u00a0 $a \\times \\left[b \\;-\\; c\\right] = \\left[a \\times b\\right] \\;-\\; \\left[a \\times c\\right]$ \u2026multiplication over subtraction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example of distributive property of multiplication over addition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$4 \\times \\left[6 + 8\\right] = \\left[4 \\times 6\\right] + \\left[4 \\times 8\\right]$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$4 \\times 14 = 24 + 32$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$56 = 56$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example of distributive property of multiplication over subtraction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$5 \\times \\left[4 + 2\\right] = \\left[5 \\times 4\\right] + \\left[5 \\times 2\\right]$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$5 \\times 6 = 20 + 10$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$30 = 30$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-identity-property\">Identity Property<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Additive Identity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">This property states that when zero is added to a whole number, the result is the whole number itself.
