No, division is not commutative, because a/b does not necessarily equal b/a.
A simple proof by counter-example:
Assuming a = 10 and b = 5, we test the property of commutativity with:
10/5 = 2
5/10 = 0.5.
This is an example of division failing to be commutative. In general, for a/b to equal b/a, a must equal b. For all other pairs (a,b) the property fails.

No!
division and subtraction
No
No, it does not.
Multiplication is commutative. a*b=b*a Division is not commutative Eg: 4/2=2 2/4=1/2 2 is not equal to 1/2
No.
Subtraction and division.
yes
Division and subtraction cannot be used with the commutative property.
No.
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.
