Is the set of integers closed under division? Explain why or why not.

1 answer:

5 0

The set of integers is not closed under the operation of division because when an integer is divided by another, the results are not limited to only integers i.e. zero and decimals are possibilities

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

Integers are numbers without decimal points

When integers are divided, the possible results are:

Zero
Decimal
Integers

The decimal and the zero possibilities imply that the set of integers is not closed under the operation of division

This is so because when an integer is divided by another, the results are not limited to only integers i.e. zero and decimals are possibilities

Answer:

all except 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the numbers listed are in the set of integers, except for the fraction 5/6. It is a rational number, but not an integer.

If by "part of integers" you mean that the number can be multiplied by some integer value to make an integer, then 5/6 is "part of 5". It is 1/6 of the integer 5.

Calculate the value of each expression:<br> (-8)•(-2/3)<br> SHOW YOUR WORK:

inna [77]

Answer: $\frac{16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the multiplication of signs:

$(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-$

In this case, given the following expression:

$(-8)(-\frac{2}{3})$

You can idenfity that both factors are negative. Then, the product (The result of the multiplication) will be positive.

Then, in order to get the product, you need to multiply the numerator of the fraction by -8. So, you get:

$\frac{(-2)(-8)}{3}=\frac{16}{3}$

You can notice that the numerator and the denominator of the fraction obtained cannot be divided by the same number; therefore, the fraction cannot be simplified.
