Property of Rational Numbers – Additive Identity and Additive Inverse There are two basic additive properties of rational numbers. (1) Additive Identity Property (2) Additive Inverse Property (1) Additive Identity Property: Additive identity of rational numbers states that the sum of any rational number (a/b) and zero is the rational number itself. Suppose a/b is […]

Associative Property of Rational Numbers Associative Property Associative property of rational numbers states that when three or more rational numbers are added or multiplied the result remains same irrespective of how they are grouped. However, in the case of subtraction and division if the order of the numbers is changed then result will also change. […]

Commutative Property of Rational Numbers Commutative Property The commutative property of rational numbers states that when any two rational numbers are added or multiplied in any order the result we get same result. In case of subtraction and division, if order of numbers is change the result will also change. We will understand these properties […]
