Subtraction is commutative... in a way. You can convert any subtraction to an addition.
7 - 2 is NOT the same as 2 - 7.
However, when turning the terms around, you may keep the sign, so that 7 - 2 is the same as -2 + 7. This is justified by the commutative law of addition.
Similarly with division: 10 / 2 is not the same as 2 / 10, but you can convert 10 / 2 into (1/2) x 10.

Are there commutative and associative properties for Subtraction and division?
No.
What operation are not associative?
Of the five common operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and power, both addition and multiplication are commutative, as well as associative. The other operations are neither.
Is subtraction and division associative?
No, only multiplication and addition are.
What does Associative Property not work for which operations?
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
Why is there no commutative property for subtraction or division?
There is no commutative property in subtraction or division because the order of the numbers cannot be change. This means that when multiplying or adding it does not matter the order of the numbers because the answer comes out the same.
Are there commutative and associative properties for Subtraction and division?
No.
Do the commutative and associative laws apply to vector subtraction?
No, changing order of vectors in subtraction give different resultant so commutative and associative laws do not apply to vector subtraction.
What are all the propertys in math?
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
Can you use the Associative Property with subtraction and division?
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
What operation are not associative?
Of the five common operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and power, both addition and multiplication are commutative, as well as associative. The other operations are neither.
How do you do diffrenciate commutative and associative?
Commutatitive property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Although illustrated above for addition, it also applies to multiplication. But not subtraction or division!
What is the operations commutative?
division and subtraction
Which math operations are not commutative?
Subtraction and division.
What is subtraction commutative or associative?
Subtraction is neither commutative property or association property because commutative property of multiplication is when you change the order of the factors the product stays the same and it isn't associated property because you can change the grouping of the factors the product stays the same you can't do that first attraction it wouldn't work it would be a negative zero.
Is subtraction and division associative?
No, only multiplication and addition are.
Are rational number commutative under subtraction and division?
No.
