What is the deffinition of commutative?

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.


Does commutative property work for fractions?

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


How do you do diffrenciate commutative and associative?

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!


Why does the associative property work?

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.


What the commutative property?

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.

Property of multiplication?

There are many properties of multiplication. There is the associative property, identity property and the commutative property. There is also the zero product property.


In math what are properties?

distributive, associative, commutative, and identity (also called the zero property)


What is the property of 132 plus x equals x plus 132?

The Commutative Property of Addition. It also works for multiplication: 3 times 2 is equal to 2 times 3.


If you know that 4x5 equals 20 how can you use the commutative order property to find 5x4?

The Commutative Property (of Multiplication) says that 4x5 = 5x4. So, If 4x5 = 20, then 5x4 will also be 20.


What signs go with only the associative property?

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.


What is commutative propriety of 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.


What property is 12 plus 35 equals 35 plus 12?

It is a commutative law as 12 + 35 is the same as 35 + 12.12 + 35 = 35 + 12 is also an equation.

What property do all nonzero numbers have that integers do not?

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