8 divided by 2 does not equal 2 divided by 8. 8/2=4...2/8=0.25
No!
Well, honey, the statement that division of a whole number is associative is as false as claiming you can wear a swimsuit in a blizzard. Just take the numbers 10, 5, and 2 for example. (10 ÷ 5) ÷ 2 is not the same as 10 ÷ (5 ÷ 2). So, there you have it - a sassy counterexample for you!
No.

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.
1/2 = 0.52/1 = 2 0.5 is not equal to 2.
One counterexample should be enough to disprove such an assumption. For example, 2 / 1 = 2, while 1 / 2 = 0.5. The two are not the same, ergo, the commutative property doesn't apply.Let's say that there is no statement or theorem in the sense that every operation is commutative; some are, some aren't. By the way, you can convert any division into a multiplication - in which case it IS commutative. For example, 5 divided by 2 is the same as 5 times 1/2; the multiplication 5 times 1/2 is the same as 1/2 times 5.
A counterexample for the division of whole numbers is if we have 6 apples and we try to divide them equally among 4 people. Each person would get 1 apple and there would be 2 apples remaining. In this case, it is not possible to divide the apples equally among 4 people without leaving any remainder.

No!
No, it does not.
No
Multiplication is commutative. a*b=b*a Division is not commutative Eg: 4/2=2 2/4=1/2 2 is not equal to 1/2
