It means to commute or move numbers or variables and place them in different places when multiplying to make it easier. For example: 5 x 6 x 2 = ? To make it easier, you can commute the numbers, or, move them around to find a group if numbers you know the sum of, like, 5 x 2. Then, find the sum of that, and multiply that sum to the remaining digit. 5 x 2 = 10. 10 x 6 = 60
