Integers Addition and Subtraction of Integers: A + (B + C) (A + B) + C

Integers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication. For addition and multiplication, integers follow the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. For subtraction and division, integers are not commutative. When dividing integers, the sign of the quotient depends on the signs of the numbers being divided. Zero and one have special properties related to addition/multiplication identities or inverses.

Integers Addition and subtraction of integers Integers are closed under addition and subtraction.

For two integers, a and b, a + b and a b are integers. For example, (14) + 3 = 11 (7) (2) = 7 + 2 = 5 Addition is commutative for integers. For integers, a and b, a + b = b + a For example, (7) + 5 = 5 + (7) = 2 Subtraction is not commutative for integers. For example, (7) (4) = 11 4 (7) = 11 (7) (4) (4) (7) Addition is associative for integers. For integers, a, b, and c, a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c For example, (7) + (4 + (3)) = ((7) + 4) + (3) = 6 Subtraction is not associative for integers. When 0 is added to any integer, say a, the same integer is obtained. Therefore, 0 is the additive identity of integers. a+0=a=0+a When a is added to any integer a, 0 is obtained. Therefore, a is the additive inverse of the integer a. a + (a) = 0 = (a) + a Multiplication of integers Rules for the product of integers: (i)The product of two positive integers is always positive. (ii) The product of one positive integer and one negative integer is always negative. For example, 5 (9) = (5 9) = 45 (iii) The product of two negative integers is always positive. (iv) If the number of negative integers in a product is even, then the product is a positive integer. If

the number of negative integers in a product is odd, then the product is a negative integer. For example, (1) (2) (3) = 6, (7) (2) = 14 etc.

Integers are closed under multiplication. For integers, a and b, a b is an integer. For example, (7) (4) = 28, which is an integer Integers are commutative under multiplication. For example, (2) (5) = 5 (2) = 10 The product of an integer and zero is zero. (2) 0 = 0 70=0 When an integer, say a, is multiplied by 1, it gives the same integer. 1a=a1=a Therefore, 1 is the multiplicative identity for integers. Integers are associative under multiplication. For integers a, b and c, a (b c) = (a b) c For instance, (25) [4 39] = [(25) 4] 39 = (100) 39 = 3900 Multiplication is distributive over addition and subtraction for integers. For integers, a, b, and c, a (b + c) = a b + a c a (b c) = a b a c Commutative, distributive and associative properties can be used to simplify calculations. For example, 17 49 = 17 (50 1) = 17 50 17 1 = 850 17 = 833 Division of integers To divide a positive integer by a negative integer or a negative integer by a positive integer, the division is carried out as in whole numbers and then a negative sign () is put before the quotient. For example, (12) (4) = (12) 4 = 3 [Using distributive property]

When a negative integer is divided by another negative integer or a positive integer is divided by another positive integer, a positive quotient is obtained. For example, (6) (3) = 6 3 = 2 Integers are not commutative under division. For example, (24) (3) = 8, which is not equal to (3) (24). For any integer a, a 0 is not defined.

If a is any integer then a 1 = a always. For example, 4 5 1 = 45 If a is any integer then a (1) = (a) always. For example, 59 (1)= (59)
