Question

Which is greater? Additive identity or multiplicative identity?

Answer 1

Checking which one is greater:

Additive Identity: Additive identity is a number which when added to any whole number., then the value remains the same.

For any whole number $\text{a}$, $\text{a+0=0+a=a}$

So, $0$ is the additive identity for whole numbers.

Multiplicative identity: Multiplicative identity is a number which when multiplied to any whole number., then the value remains the same.

For any whole number $\text{a}$, $\text{a×1=1×a=a}$

So, $1$ is the multiplicative identity for whole numbers.

So, clearly $1$ is greater than $0$,

Hence, multiplicative identity is greater than additive identity.
