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).

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
