1.4 Properties of Operations On Integers

The document discusses various properties of operations on integers such as closure, commutativity, associativity, identity, inverse, and distributive properties. It explains that addition, subtraction and multiplication have closure properties, but division does not. It also specifies which operations commute, associate and have identities, inverses or are distributive over other operations for integers.

Properties of

Operations on
Integers
Closure Property
Addition and Subtraction:
Closure property under addition and
subtraction states that the sum or
difference of any two integers is also an
integer.
If a and b are integers (Z) then:
a + b = Z or a – b = Z
Closure Property
Multiplication:
Closure property under multiplication
states that the product of any two integers
is also an integer.
If a and b are integers (Z) then:
a·b=Z
Closure Property
Division:
Division of integers does not hold the
closure property.
If a and b are integers, then a ÷ b may or
may not be an integer, which is why
closure property is not applicable for
division of integers.
Commutative Property
Addition:
Commutative property of addition states
that, two integers can be added in any
order.
If a and b are integers then,
a + b = b + a.
Commutative Property
Multiplication:
Commutative property of multiplication
states that, two integers can be multiplied
in any order.
If a and b are integers then,
a · b = b · a.
Commutative Property
Subtraction and Division:
Subtraction and division do not hold
commutative property for integers.
If a and b are integers, then:
a–b≠b–a
a÷b≠b÷a
Associative Property
Addition:
Associative property of addition states that
if three integers are added, it makes no
difference whether which two are added
first.
If a, b, or c are integers then,
(a+b) + c = a + (b+c).
Associative Property
Multiplication:
Associative property of multiplication states
that if three integers are multiplied, it
makes no difference whether which two are
multiplied first.
If a, b, or c are integers then,
(a · b) · c = a · (b · c).
Associative Property
Subtraction and Division:
Subtraction and division do not hold
associative property for integers.
If a, b, and c are integers then,
a – (b – c) ≠ (a – b) – c
a ÷ (b ÷ c) ≠ (a ÷ b) ÷ c
Identity Property
Addition:
Identity property of addition states that any
integer added to the identity element zero
(0) will remain unchanged. Zero (0) is the
identity element of addition.
If a is an integer then,
a + 0 = a or 0 + a = a.
Identity Property
Multiplication:
Identity property of multiplication states
that any number multiplied to the identity
element 1 will remain unchanged. 1 is the
identity element for multiplication.
If a is an integer then,
a · 1 = a.
Inverse Property
Addition:
Inverse property of addition states that the
sum of an integer and its additive
inverse(opposite) is the identity element 0.
a and (-a) are additive inverses.
If a is an integer then,
a + (-a) = 0
(-a) + a = 0.
Inverse Property
Multiplication:
 

Inverse property of multiplication states


that the product of an integer and its
multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) is the
identity element 1.
If a is an integer, then.
a · = 1 and · a = 1
provided that a ≠ 0.
Distributive Property
Distributive property of multiplication over
addition or subtraction states that
multiplication distributes over addition or
subtraction.
If a, b and c are integers then,
a · (b + c) = (a · b) + (a · c)
or
a · (b – c) = (a · b) – (a · c)
