Closure Property - applicable to Addition and Multiplication Only, not for Subtraction and Division

What is closure property: Sum or muliplication of any whole number will also be whole number.

For eg. 2+3 = 5, here 5 is also a whole number

2 x 3 = 6 here 6 is also a whole number

2 -3 = -1 which is not a whole number hence subtraction does have closure property

5  divided 3 = is not a whole number hence division does not have closure property
