How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
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 are rational numbers not commutative?
Numbers, by themselves are neither commutative nor are they non-commutative. Commutativity is a property that belongs to a mathematical operation on a set of numbers. However, since the question does not specify what operation you have in mind, it is not possible to give a more helpful answer. The basic operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but there are many more mathematical operations.
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.
What property is shown by 8 times 2 equals 2 times 8?
This is called the commutative property of multiplication. Like addition, the order of the numbers does not matter: the product is the same.Compare this with subtraction and division which are not commutative.
