The commutativity is a property of binary operations, and it states that the order in which the operands appear does not matter.
If a and b are two elements and * is an operator then commutativity implies that
a * b = b * a
Ordinary addition and multiplication and commutative but subtraction and division are not. Matrix multiplication is not commutative.
Associativity is a property of ternary operations, and states that the order in which the operations are carried out does not matter.
If a, b and c are elements and * an operator, then
a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c so that they can be written as a * b * c without ambiguity.
Addition and multiplication (including matrices) are associative. Subtraction and division are not.

What are all the propertys in math?
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
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.
How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
What are commutative and associative properties of addition?
Commutative Law: a + b = b + a Associative Law: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
What happens to the product when you change the grouping of three factors in a multiplication problem?
Nothing. Multiplication is commutative and associative.Nothing. Multiplication is commutative and associative.Nothing. Multiplication is commutative and associative.Nothing. Multiplication is commutative and associative.
What are the different properties of mutiplication?
Commutative a*b=b*a Associative (a*b)*c=a*(b*c)
Are there commutative and associative properties for Subtraction and division?
No.

What is the properties under multiplication?
commutative, associative, distributive
Is 3 plus 10 equals 10 plus 3 commutative or associative of distributive?
Associative
Does commutative law apply in the operation of sets?
Both union and intersection are commutative, as well as associative.
How are the associative and commutative properties alike and different?
The associative and commutative are properties of operations defined on mathematical structures. Both properties are concerned with the order - of operators or operands. According to the ASSOCIATIVE property, the order in which the operation is carried out does not matter. Symbolically, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and so, without ambiguity, either can be written as a + b + c. According to the COMMUTATIVE property the order in which the addition is carried out does not matter. In symbolic terms, a + b = b + a For real numbers, both addition and multiplication are associative and commutative while subtraction and division are not. There are many mathematical structures in which a binary operation is not commutative - for example matrix multiplication.
