RATIONAL NUMBERS
Ratio of two numbers expressed in the form of , where p can be any
integer, and q is a non zero number, is called a rational number.

PROPERTIES OF RATIONAL NUMBERS
Closure property
Associative property
Distributive property
Additive inverse
Multiplicative inverse
Commutative property
CLOSURE PROPERTY
Under addition:
GOOD FOR
If a and b are 2 rational number then their sum must be a rational number.
ADDITION
i.e if a,b,c are 3 rational numbers then a+b = c. ( + = )
Under subtraction:
If a and b are 2 rational number then their difference must be a rational number.
i.e if a,b,c are 3 rational numbers then a - b = c. ( - = ) GOOD FOR
SUBTRACTION
CLOSURE PROPERTY
Under multiplication:
If a and b are 2 rational number then their product must be a rational number.
GOOD FOR
MULTIPLICATION
i.e if a,b,c are 3 rational numbers then a*b = c. ( * = )
Under division:
If a and b are 2 rational number then their quotient must be a rational number.
i.e if a,b,c are 3 rational numbers then a/b = c. (÷ = )
GOOD FOR
DIVISION
Associative property
Under addition:
If a and b and c are 3 rational number then a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c Associative property of
i.e ( + )+ = +( + ) multiplication is closed
only under addition and
Under multiplication: multiplication.
If the sum of two rational number is 0, then the two numbers are called additive inverse of
each other.
Example -2 and 2 are additive inverse, as their sum ( -2 +2) is 0.
Multiplicative identity
