Closure Properties

Closure properties refer to the ability of a set to remain within itself when specific operations are performed on its elements. For example, if you take two whole numbers and add them together, the result is still a whole number. This means the set of whole numbers is "closed" under addition. Closure properties help define and categorize sets, such as integers or rational numbers, based on how they behave under various mathematical operations like addition, multiplication, and others. Understanding these properties is essential for exploring how different sets interact with each other in mathematics.
