The commutative property isn't of much use in this situation, since it states that 5 x 4 = 4 x 5

Either way, it equals 20.

Why doesn't the commutative property work for subtraction?

you can not use commutative property for subtraction because if you switch them around you will end up with a negative number.


Why don't we use multiplication or division in commutative property?

The commutative property states that the order of numbers does not affect the result of an operation. It applies to both addition and multiplication, meaning (a + b = b + a) and (a \times b = b \times a). Division and subtraction, however, are not commutative; for example, (a - b) does not equal (b - a) and (a \div b) does not equal (b \div a). Thus, the commutative property is specifically relevant to operations that yield the same result regardless of the order of the operands.


How do you use the commutative property and the associative property to add columns of numbers?

Property you can use to add or multiply numbers in any order?

There are three basic properties of numbers: Associative, Commutative, and Distributive. The commutative property says that b + a = a + b and a * b = b * a.


How can you use the commutative order of property of multiplication to find the product of eight multiplied by seven?

The commutative property of multiplication states that for numbers x and y, x*y = y*x It is hard to see how this can help in answering 7*8 unless you know the seven times table and not the eight times table or the other way around.
