Addition and Multiplication
Addition and multiplication are operations on integers that are commutative.
Yes. The additive identity is always commutative - even in sets with binary operations that are not otherwise commutative.

Addition and Multiplication
In math, the Commutative Property refers to operations in which the order of the numbers being operated on does not matter. Multiplication and addition are commutative operations, which may be demonstrated by the algebraic equations "ab = ba" and "a + b = b + a", respectively.

division and subtraction
Division and subtraction cannot be used with the commutative property.

Addition and multiplication
It works for some operations, for others it doesn't. Specifically, both addition and multiplication of real numbers are commutative.
Commutative means that the order can be changed without affecting the answer. For example, multiplication is commutative but division is not. 2 x 4 = 8 and 4 x 2 = 8 (commutative) 2 / 4 = 1/2 but 4 / 2 = 2 (not commutative) Associative means that the order that two operations is completed can be changed without affecting the answer. (2 x 4) x 3 = 2 x (4 x 3) - (associative)
