Closure Property Worksheets
What is the Closure Property? (In Algebra) The term closure is a term that is used extensively in many fields. In the field of mathematics, closure is applied in many sub-branches. The property states that when you perform any operation (like an arithmetic one) on any two numbers from the same set, the result will be another number in the same set. For instance, if we multiply two numbers from a set of even numbers, the answer will always be an even number. However, this property is only valid for a few conditions and not all of them.
