the order in which you multiply the numbers doesn't matter.
example: 6x4x2
you can multiply it in that order, or you can do 6x2x4
The commutative property means that number's positions can be changed, but their answer will stay the same. This property works for addition and multiplication. For example 5+6 = 6+5 or 3x2 = 2x3.
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.
it depends wht kind (multiplication, addition)
The commutative property holds that the results are the same no matter the order. Multiplication is commutative since a x b = b x a. The associative property holds that the results are the same no matter the grouping as long as the order stays the same. Multiplication is associative since (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
When the terms in a polynomial are commutative, they can be grouped with parentheses in any way.

Multiplication of numbers is also commutative but multiplication of matrices is not. Subtraction and division are not commutative.

The commutative property states that changing the order of operands in a binary operation does not affect the result. More simply, and using more familiar terms: for addition, it means that A + B = B + A or for multiplication, A * B = B *A Subtraction and division are not commutative, nor is matrix multiplication.
The commutative property holds that the results are the same no matter the order. Multiplication is commutative since a x b = b x a. The associative property holds that the results are the same no matter the grouping as long as the order stays the same. Multiplication is associative since (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
what is commutative and distributed property mean
If you mean d*r = r*d (where * means multiply_ then it is the commutative property.
When the terms in a polynomial are commutative, they can be grouped with parentheses in any way.
The commutative property is a rule of math that refers to exchanging or swapping numbers. The rule states that the order of the factors does not change the product.
The commutative property works for adding and multiplying e.g. 2+4=4+2 and 3x4=4x3. But it doesn't work for subtraction and division so 5-3≠3-5 and 6÷2≠2÷6 so subtraction and division could be considered as exceptions.
The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.
