A non-empty set
together with at least one binary operation defined on it is called an algebraic structure. Thus if G is a non-empty set and “
” is a binary operation on
, then
is an algebraic structure.

are all algebraic structures. Since addition and multiplication are both binary operations on the set R of real numbers,
is an algebraic structure equipped with two operations.





are all algebraic structures. Since addition and multiplication are both binary operations on the set R of real numbers,

Example: If the binary operation
on Q the set of rational numbers is defined by
for every
