<td align="center">Closure is when an <b>operation </b> (such as &quot;adding&quot;) <br />
on members of a <b>set</b> (such as &quot;real numbers&quot;) <br />
always makes<b> a member of the same set</b>. </td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>So the result stays in the same set.</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: when we add two <a href="../numbers/real-numbers.html">real numbers</a> we get another real number</h3>
<p class="center">3.1 + 0.5 = 3.6</p>
<p>This is always true, so: <b>real numbers are closed under addition</b></p>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: subtracting two <a href="../whole-numbers.html">whole numbers</a> might <b>not</b> make a whole number</h3>
<p class="center">4 &minus; 9 = &minus;5</p>
<p class="center">&minus;5 is <b>not</b> a whole number (whole numbers can't be negative)</p>
<p>So: <b>whole numbers are <span class="large">not</span> closed under subtraction</b></p>
</div>
<p>This is a <b>general idea</b>, and can apply to any sort of operation on any kind of set!</p>
<div class="example">
<p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="images/shirt.gif" width="120" height="90" alt="shirt" /></p>
<h3>Example: the set of shirts</h3>
<p>For the operation &quot;wash&quot;, the shirt is still a shirt after washing.</p>
<ul>
<li>So shirts are <b>closed</b> under the operation &quot;wash&quot;</li>
</ul>
<p>For the operation &quot;rip&quot;, a small rip may be OK, but a shirt ripped in half ceases to be a shirt!</p>
<ul>
<li>So shirts are <b>not closed</b> under the operation &quot;rip&quot;</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2>Sets</h2>
<p>A <a href="sets-introduction.html">set</a> is a collection of things (usually numbers). Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Set of even numbers: {..., -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, ...}</li>
<li> Set of odd numbers: {..., -3, -1, 1, 3, ...}</li>
<li> Set of prime numbers: {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...}</li>
<li> Positive multiples of 3 that are less than 10: {3, 6, 9}</li>
</ul>
<p>Let's look more closely at one set:</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: Odd numbers {..., -3, -1, 1, 3, ...}</h3>
<p>Is the set of odd numbers closed under the simple operations <span class="larger">+ &minus; &times; &divide;</span> ?</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding? 3 + 7 = 10 but 10 is even, not odd, so <b>no</b></li>
<li>Subtracting? 11 <span class="center">&minus; </span>3 = 8 but 8 is even, not odd, so <b>no</b></li>
<li>Multiplying? 5 &times; 7 = 35 yes ... in fact <a href="../numbers/even-odd.html">multiplying odd numbers</a> <b>always</b> produces odd numbers, so <b>odd numbers are closed under multiplication</b></li>
<li>Dividing? 33/3 = 11 which looks good! But try 33/5 = 6.6 which is not odd, so <b>no</b> </li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>As we just saw, just one case where it does <b>NOT</b> work is enough to say it is <b>NOT</b> closed.</p>
<p>But to say it <b>IS</b> closed, we must know it is <b>ALWAYS</b> closed (just one example could fool us).</p>
