Closure Property of Addition

The closure property of addition states that the sum of two positive integers results in another positive integer.

Positive integers are whole numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. An example of this property in action is that 4 + 3 = 7.

Commutative Property of Addition

The definition of commutative property of addition explains that the result will be the same when summed, regardless of the order in which the numbers are placed.

Therefore, 5 + 8 = 13, the same as how 8 + 5 = 13.

Associative Property of Addition

According to the associative addition property, even when the number of addends is three or more, we can still switch their places and the result will remain the same.

For instance, 4 + (5 + 7) = 16 and 7 + (5 + 4) = 16 are the same.
