Properties of Rational Numbers

A Comprehensive Overview
Properties of Addition
• • Closure Property: The sum of two rational
numbers is always rational.
• • Commutative Property: Changing the order
does not change the sum.
• • Associative Property: Changing grouping
does not change the sum.
• • Additive Identity: Adding 0 does not change
the number.
• • Additive Inverse: A number plus its negative
equals 0.
Properties of Subtraction
• • Closure Property: The difference of two
rational numbers is always rational.
• • Not Commutative: Changing order changes
the result.
• • Not Associative: Changing grouping changes
the result.
Properties of Multiplication
• • Closure Property: The product of two
rational numbers is always rational.
• • Commutative Property: Changing the order
does not change the product.
• • Associative Property: Changing grouping
does not change the product.
• • Multiplicative Identity: Multiplying by 1 does
not change the number.
• • Multiplicative Inverse: A number times its
reciprocal equals 1.
Properties of Division
• • Closure Property: Division of one rational
number by another (except 0) is always
rational.
• • Not Commutative: Changing order changes
the result.
• • Not Associative: Changing grouping changes
the result.
• • Division by 1: Any number divided by 1
remains unchanged.
• • Division by Itself: Any nonzero number
