Why does the communitive and associative properties do not work for subtraction and division?

The commutative and associative properties do not hold for subtraction and division because these operations are not inherently flexible in the way addition and multiplication are. For instance, in subtraction, changing the order of the numbers changes the result (e.g., (5 - 3 \neq 3 - 5)). Similarly, in division, rearranging the numbers leads to different outcomes (e.g., (6 \div 2 \neq 2 \div 6)). This lack of flexibility in order or grouping makes these properties inapplicable to subtraction and division.
