No.
Neither are commutative: a - b does not equal b - a, and a/b does not equal b/a.
Neither is associative: (a - b) - c does not equal a - (b - c), and (a/b)/c does not equal a/(b/c).
Examples of these are:
4 - 2 does not equal 2 - 4.
1/3 does not equal 3/1.
(6 - 5) - 1 does not equal 6 - (5 - 1).
(10/2)/2 does not equal 10/(2/2).

What is subtraction commutative or associative?
Subtraction is neither commutative nor associative.
What are all the propertys in math?
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
Can you use the Associative Property with subtraction and division?
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
How do you do diffrenciate commutative and associative?
Commutatitive property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Although illustrated above for addition, it also applies to multiplication. But not subtraction or division!
Are there commutative and associative properties for Subtraction and division?
No.
What is subtraction commutative or associative?
Subtraction is neither commutative nor associative.
Do the commutative and associative laws apply to vector subtraction?
No, changing order of vectors in subtraction give different resultant so commutative and associative laws do not apply to vector subtraction.
What are all the propertys in math?
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
Can you use the Associative Property with subtraction and division?
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
What operation are not associative?
Of the five common operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and power, both addition and multiplication are commutative, as well as associative. The other operations are neither.
How do you do diffrenciate commutative and associative?
Commutatitive property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Although illustrated above for addition, it also applies to multiplication. But not subtraction or division!
What is the operations commutative?
division and subtraction
Which math operations are not commutative?
Subtraction and division.
Are subtraction and division commutative and associative?
Subtraction is commutative... in a way. You can convert any subtraction to an addition. 7 - 2 is NOT the same as 2 - 7. However, when turning the terms around, you may keep the sign, so that 7 - 2 is the same as -2 + 7. This is justified by the commutative law of addition. Similarly with division: 10 / 2 is not the same as 2 / 10, but you can convert 10 / 2 into (1/2) x 10.
Is subtraction and division associative?
No, only multiplication and addition are.
