Closure property
Integers are closed under addition and subtraction.
This means that when you add or subtract two
integers, the result is always an integer.
Example: Example:
(-8) + 6 = -2 19 – 6 = 13
Question 1: Is the result of 8−5 an integer?
Question: Sam has 8 apples, and his friend gives him 5
more apples. How many apples does Sam have in total? Is
the total an integer?
Question: Riya has −3 dollars, and she finds −2 dollars
more in her pocket. How much money does she have in
total? Is the total an integer?
Under multiplication Under division
Any two integers’ product will be an Division of integers doesn’t follow the
integer, i.e. if a and b are any two closure property since the quotient of
any two integers a and b, may or may

not be an integer. Sometimes the
quotient is undefined (when the divisor
Example: 3 × (-9) = -27
is 0).
(–7) × (-9) = 63
Example: -16 ÷ 4 = -4 (an integer)
(−4) ÷ (−16) = 1/4 (not an integer)
Question 1: Is the result of 8÷4 an integer?
Question 2: Is the result of −10÷5 an integer?
Commutative Property
A+B=B+A AxB=BxA
Question 1: Does −2+5 equal 5+(−2)?
Question 3: Is 17×3 the same as 3×17? Verify your
answer.
Question 4: Does −4×16 equal 16×(−4)?
Associative Property
The Associative Property states that the way
numbers are grouped in addition or
multiplication does not change their sum or
product. In other words, for any numbers a, b,
and c :

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE
2 + (5 + 6) = (2 + 5) + 6 2 × (5 × 6) = (2 × 5) × 6
2 + 11 = 7 + 6 2 × 30 = 10 × 6
13 = 13 60 = 60
Question 1: Verify if (2+3)+4 is the same as 2+(3+4).
Question 2: Check if (−1+5)+6 equals −1+(5+6).
Question 3: Verify if (2×3)×4 is the same as 2×(3×4).
