Assuming you mean definition, commutative is a property of an operation such that the order of the operands does not affect the result. Thus for addition, A + B = B + A. Multiplication of numbers is also commutative but multiplication of matrices is not. Subtraction and division are not commutative.
Yes. Both the commutative property of addition, and the commutative property of multiplication, works:* For integers * For rational numbers (i.e., fractions) * For any real numbers * For complex numbers
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!
With binary operations, the associative property means that you can perform the operation on any adjacent pair before moving to further pairs. Thus: a + b + c = (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). This also applies to multiplication but not to subtraction nor division. 5 - (3 - 2) = 5 - 1 = 4 (5 - 3) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0 Also, associativity does not imply commutativity so the order of the operands (numbers) cannot be changed unless the operation is also commutative.
The Commutative Property of Addition and also Multiplication: means the order is not important. So if you are only adding, then the terms can be taken in any order. Also if you are only multiplying, they can be multiplied in any order. So 3 x 4 x 5 = 5 x 4 x 3 = 3 x 5 x 4, etc. Think of somebody who commutes to work. They move from one place to another. So the terms can commute around and the answer will stay the same.

There are many properties of multiplication. There is the associative property, identity property and the commutative property. There is also the zero product property.
distributive, associative, commutative, and identity (also called the zero property)
The Commutative Property of Addition. It also works for multiplication: 3 times 2 is equal to 2 times 3.
The Commutative Property (of Multiplication) says that 4x5 = 5x4. So, If 4x5 = 20, then 5x4 will also be 20.
The answer cannot be addition of numbers because that sign can also go with the commutative property, not "only the associative property" as required by the question. For the same reason, the answer cannot be multiplication of numbers. Also, in both cases, multiplication is distributive over addition.
It simply means that the order of the addends is immaterial - if 3 + 5 + 7 = 15 then 5 + 7 +3 = 15. This is also true for multiplication, but not for division or subtraction.
It is a commutative law as 12 + 35 is the same as 35 + 12.12 + 35 = 35 + 12 is also an equation.

Of not being equal to zero. Also, of being closed under division.
