Let Z denote the set of all integers with addition defined in the usual way, and define scalar multiplication, denoted o, by:

alpha o k = [[alpha]]. k for all k in Z

where [[alpha]] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to alpha, for example,

2.25 o 4 = [[2.25]].4 = 2 ... 4 = 8

show that Z, together with these operations, is not a vector space. Which axioms fail to hold?
