Properties of Integers - Lesson Summary

    Closure property:
  • Closure property under addition:

    Integers are closed under addition, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, a+b is an integer. 
    Eg: 3+4=7;-9+7=2

  • Closure property under subtraction:

    Integers are closed under subtraction, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, a-b is an integer.
    Eg: -21-(-9)=-12;8-3=5

  • Closure property under multiplication:

    Integers are closed under multiplication, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, ab is an integer.
    Eg: 5×6=30; -9×-3=27

  • Closure property under division:

    Integers are NOT closed under division, i.e. for any two integers,

    Eg:

  • Commutative property:
  • Commutative property under addition:

                Addition is commutative for integers.  For any two integers, a and b, a+b=b+a
    Eg:5+(-6)=5-6=-1;
    (-6)+5=-6+5=-1
    ∴5+(-6)=(-6)+5

  • Commutative property under subtraction:

    Subtraction is NOT commutative for integers.  For any two integers, a-b≠b-a
    Eg:8-(-6)=8+6=14;
    (-6)-8=-6-8=-14
    ∴8-(-6)≠-6-8

  • Commutative property under multiplication:

    Multiplication is commutative for integers.  For any two integers, a and b, ab=ba
    Eg:9×(-6)=-(9×6)=-54;
    (-6)×9=-(6×9)=-54
    ∴9×(-6)=(-6)×9

  • Commutative property under division:

    Division is NOT commutative for integers.  For any two integers,
    Eg:3/6=1/2;

  •  Associative property:
  • Associative property under addition:

    Addition is associative for integers.  For any three integers, a, b and c, a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c
    Eg:5+(-6+4)=5-2=3;
    (5-6)+4=-1+4=3
    ∴5+(-6+4)=(5-6)+4

  • Associative property under subtraction:

    Subtraction is associative for integers.  For any three integers,
    a-(b-c)≠(a-b)-c
    Eg:5—(6-4)=5-2=3;
    (5-6)-4=-1-4=-5
    ∴5—(6-4)≠(5-6)-4

  • Associative property under multiplication:

    Multiplication is associative for integers.  For any three integers, a, b and c,
              (a×b)×c=a×(b×c)
    Eg: [(-3)×(-2))×4]=(6×4)=24
    [(-3)×(-2×4) ]=(-3×-8)=24
    ∴[(-3)×(-2))×4]=[(-3)×(-2×4) ]

  • Associative property under division:

    Division is NOT associative for integers. 

  • Distributive property:
  • Distributive property of multiplication over addition:

    For any three integers, a, b and c, a×(b+c) = a×b+a×c
    Eg: -2 (4 + 3) =  -2 (7)  = -14
    -2(4+3)=(-2×4)+(-2×3)
    =(-8)+(-6)
    =-14

  • Distributive property of multiplication over subtraction:

            For any three integers, a, b and c, a×(b-c)= a×b-a×c
    Eg: -2 (4- 3) =  -2 (1)  = -2
    -2(4-3)=(-2×4)-(-2×3)
    =(-8)-(-6)
    =-2
    The distributive property of multiplication over the operations of addition and subtraction is true in the case of integers.

  • Identity under addition:

    Integer 0 is the identity under addition.  That is, for an integer a, a+0=0+a=a.
    Eg: 4+0=0+4=4

  • Identity under multiplication:

    The integer 1 is the identity under multiplication.  That is, for an integer a, 1×a=a×1=a
    Eg: (-4)×1=1×(-4)=-4
