No. They are not at all the same thing. A multiplication array is something that you usually use when you're learning multiplication. For example: there are 5 rows of 7. Its a picture that shows something like that. On the other hand, a commutative property is 2 numbers that you can multiply very easily in your head. The numbers are between 0 and 9. If they are double digits, they're not commutative property.

The commutative property holds that the results are the same no matter the order. Multiplication is commutative since a x b = b x a. The associative property holds that the results are the same no matter the grouping as long as the order stays the same. Multiplication is associative since (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
If the numbers in an arithmetic problem can be rearranged to make the same result, then this is called the "commutative property" - in this case, as a multiplication sum, the commutative property of multiplication.
No. For example, 2 / 1 is not the same as 1 / 2. However, you can convert any division into a multiplication, and apply the commutative law to the multiplication. For example, 5 divided by 3 is the same as 5 multipled by (1/3). By the commutative property, this, in turn, is the same as (1/3) multiplied by 5.
The commutative property means that number's positions can be changed, but their answer will stay the same. This property works for addition and multiplication. For example 5+6 = 6+5 or 3x2 = 2x3.
No because the commutative property only works for addition and multiplication
