A property of multiplication, like addition, is that it can be put on any side of another expression, as long as it is all multiplication. For example, the commutative propety, 3x6, is the same thing as 6x3, they both equal 18.
This is unique to addition and multipication, because 3-6, is not the same as 6-3, 10/5 is not the same as 5/10
Correct
An operation is commutative if you can change the orderof the numbers involved without changing the result. Addition and multiplication are both commutative. Subtraction is not commutative: 2 - 1 is not equal to 1 - 2.* * * * *Oh dear!Multiplication is commutative for ordinary numbers but not for matrices, so not a correct answer. But what has any of this to do with the question?The distributive property states thata(b+c)=ab+acyou take the numbers on the inside and multiply them by the number(s) on the outside.
Whether you multiply 6 times 8, or 8 times 6, you will get the same answer in either case (which is 48). The order in which the numbers are presented does not change the result.
It means that in an equation, you can multiply both sides (left and right of the equal sign) by the same number (except zero), without changing the result set.
If the numbers in an arithmetic problem can be rearranged to make the same result, then this is called the "commutative property" - in this case, as a multiplication sum, the commutative property of multiplication.
It is the commutative property of multiplication.
The two (or more) numbers that you multiply are called factors. (The result of the multiplication is called the product.)
Yes, the product is the end result of multiplication.
The associative property of multiplication states that for any three numbers a, b and c, (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) and so we can write either as a * b * c without ambiguity. ie, when multiplying three numbers together, you can multiply the first two together and then multiply the result of that by the third, or multiply the second two numbers together and multiply that result by the first, and you will get the same answer.

If you multiply a negative number with a positive number, the result will be negative. If you multiply two negatives, the result will be positive.
The identity property in mathematics states that when you add or multiply a number by 1, the result is the number itself. This property helps to retain the value of a number when performing operations with it. For addition, the identity element is 0, and for multiplication, the identity element is 1.

The property you are referring to is the commutative property of multiplication. This property states that the order in which numbers are multiplied does not change the result. In this case, 5xp is equivalent to px5 because multiplication is commutative, meaning you can rearrange the factors without affecting the product.
This is stated in symbols: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c). In other words, you get the same result whether you multiply the two numbers on the left first, or first the two numbers on the right. This refers to multiplication of real numbers, as usually defined; there have indeed been operationes defined, also known as "multiplication", that don't fulfill this property.
