Given:
Closure property: Closure property is said to be hold in any set under some operation if on applying the operation on any two elements of set then the resultant lies in same set.
Calculation:
In order to check if whole number holds closure property for subtraction. Take any two whole number
On subtracting
As the result the closure property of subtraction does not applies to whole number that is result of subtraction is not always be a whole number.
Conclusion:
Whole number does not hold closure property for subtraction.
