@chisom chinwuko: Assuming, as Ross does, that you meant "the set of all complex numbers" and "the set of all complex numbers without zero", then the answer is: in the obvious way.

A complex number is not a group under addition. The set of all complex numbers is a group under addition. Just look at the definition of a group and see that you can verify the axioms. Similarly for the set of complex numbers without zero and multiplication.
