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.
How are the rules for multiplication and division integers the same?
They are not the same!The set of integers is closed under multiplication but not under division.Multiplication is commutative, division is not.Multiplication is associative, division is not.
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.
Does the commutative property with for division?
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.
What is the definition of the commutative property of multiplication?
According to the commutative of multiplication, a*b = b*a.
