Binary operation

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a binary operation in a set is a way of combinate a pair of elements in that set. For example, if we take a pair of natural numbers then its sum is the result of applying this particular binary operation. Another could be its multiplication.
