@sammixboo can you just help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That yahoo doesnt really help.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

"Closed under multiplication" means when you multiply two whole numbers, your answer will also be a whole number. So say 6 times a whole number equals a whole number. That is "close under multiplication" Whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
