Question

$1$ is the identity for the multiplication of whole numbers.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Check whether the given statement is true or false:

Any number which does not change the identity of a certain number when multiplied is called multiplicative identity.

Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two numbers, if

$\text{A×B = A}$, then $B$ is the multiplicative identity.

Since, we know that, if we multiply any number by $1$, we get the result as the same number.

Therefore, $1$ is known as the multiplicative identity.

Hence, the given statement is true.
