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.

Is there a commutative property of division?
There is no commutative property of division. Commutative means to exchange places of numbers. If you exchange the place of numbers in a division problem, you would affect the answer. So, commutative property applies only to addition or multiplication.Not really; for example, 2/1 = 2, and 1/2 = 0.5. However, you can convert any division into a multiplication, and apply the commutative property of multiplication. For example, 6 / 3 = 6 x (1/2), which is the same as (1/2) x 6.
