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 a and b and c are 3 rational number then a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c


i.e  *( * ) = ( *)* It does not hold good for
subtraction and division.
Commutative property

This property says that if a and b are 2 integers then :

a + b should be equal to b + a (for addition)


a * b should be equal to b * a (for multiplication)

This property hold good only for addition and


multiplication:
Additive inverse

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

If any number multiplied by 1 gives the same number itself.


Example  * 1 =
Distributive law

DRISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION OVER ADDITION AND


SUBTRACTION

If a,b and c are rational numbers, then: a*(b+c) = a*b + a*c


a*(b-c) = a*b – a*c

Example  21* (5+2) = 21*5 + 21*2 = 105 + 42 = 147
