Learn moreAdding \(0\) (zero) and multiplying \(1\) (one) to any integer will not change the result (or) the sum. This is called the identity property of integers.
Identity property of \(1\):
Identity property of \(1\) (one) says that any number multiplied (or) divided by \(1\) (one) remains the same.
It can be represented as,
\(a × 1 = a\)
\(a ÷ 1 = a\).
Example:
1. \(11 × 1 = 11\)
2. \(2 ÷ 1 = 2\).
Identity property of \(0\):
Identity property of \(0\) (zero) says that any number added or subtracted with \(0\) (zero) remains the same.
It can be represented as,
\(a + 0 = a\)
\(a - 0 = a\).
Example:
1. \(7 + 0 = 7\)
2. \(12 - 0 = 12\)
Important!
\(0\) (zero) is called an additive identity.
\(1\) (one) is called a multiplicative identity.
