To show that subtraction and division are not binary operations on the set of natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \), we need to understand the definition of a binary operation. A binary operation on a set \( S \) is a function that takes two elements from \( S \) and produces another element from \( S \). ### Step 1: Show that subtraction is not a binary operation on \( \mathbb{N} \) 1. **Select Elements**: Let \( A, B \in \mathbb{N} \). 2. **Perform Subtraction**: Consider \( A - B \). 3. **Check Conditions**: - If \( A \geq B \), then \( A - B \) is a natural number. ...
