    1. The properties of real numbers include closure, commutativity, associativity, distributivity, identity, and inverses. 2. Closure means real numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication but not division. Commutativity allows operations to be performed in any order, associativity allows grouping in any order, and distributivity involves combining addition and multiplication. 3. Identity properties are that addition of any number and 0 equals itself, and multiplication of any number by 1 equals itself. Inverses are that addition of a number and its negative equals 0, and multiplication of a number by its reciprocal equals 1.

    LESSON 2: PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS

    Objective:

     Identify the property of real number illustrated on each equation.

    Properties of Real Numbers

    In this lesson, we look at some properties that apply to all real numbers. If you learn these properties,
    they will help you solve problems in arithmetic easier. Let’s look at each property in detail, and apply it
    to real numbers.

    1. CLOSURE
    Real numbers are closed with respect to addition, subtraction and multiplication. What about
    division? Well, division is not closed since we cannot divide a number by 0.

    2. COMMUTATIVE
    The commutative property allows you to perform addition operations and multiplication
    operations in any order you wish.
    Examples:
    3+4=4+3 Commutative Property of Addition
    3x4=4x3 Commutative Property of Multiplication

    3. ASSOCIATIVE
    When performing addition or multiplication on three numbers, the associative property allows
    you to group them together in any order you wish.
    Examples:
    (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4) Associative Property of Addition
    (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4) Associative Property of Multiplication

    4. DISTRIBUTIVE
    This one involves addition and multiplication operations being performed together.
    Example: 2 x (3 + 4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4)

    5. IDENTITY
    The numbers 0 and 1 play an important role in math, since they do absolutely nothing.

    o Any number plus 0 equals itself.


    Example: 3 + 0 = 0 + 3 = 3.
    Zero (0) is called the identity for addition.
    o Any number multiplied by 1 is equal to itself.
    Example: 3 x 1 = 1 x 3 = 3.
    The number 1 is called the identity for multiplication.
    6. INVERSE
    The negative and the reciprocal play an important role in addition and multiplication.
    o Any number plus its negative is equal to 0.
    Example: 3 + -3 = 0, where -3 is called the additive inverse of 3.
    o Any number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to 1.
    Example: 4 x ¼ = 1, where ¼ is called the multiplicative inverse of 4.
