When you change the order of the factors in a multiplication equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Multiplication. This property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Similarly, when you change the order of the addends in an addition equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Addition. This property states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.
In multiplication, the numbers being multiplied to get an answer are called the factors, or the multiplicands. The answer itself is called the product. For example: In the equation a X b = c, a and b are the factors, or the multiplicands, and c is the product.
A mathematical formula, such as Speed = Distance / Time for example.
Speed(v) = wavelength(λ) x frequency(f).
the factors and the product.
