Why is commutative property not applicable in division?

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.


Counterexample of division of whole?

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.

What is a counterexample for the statement division of a whole number is associative?

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!
