"The sum of any two whole numbers is a whole number". This property of whole numbers is referred to as: Correct Answer Closure property

Addition refers to the process of combining two or more numbers into one sum. It is represented by the symbol +.

Key Points

  • Properties of Addition of whole numbers-
    • Closure property- When two or more whole numbers are added together the result is always a whole number.   
      • Whole number+ Whole number = Whole number
    • Commutative property- The sum of two or more whole numbers is the same, regardless of the order in which they are added. For example- 2+5=5+2=7
    • Associative property- When three or more numbers are added together, the result will be the same regardless of the order in which they are added. For example- (2+3)+5=(2+5)+3=10

Hence, we conclude that the sum of any two whole numbers is a whole number. This property of the whole number is referred to as closure property. 

Hint

  • The distributive property is a property of multiplication that is used in addition and subtraction.
  • It states that multiplying a sum by a number is equivalent to multiplying each addend by the number and then combining the products. a(b+c)= ab+ac
