Its just that the factors are switched but the product would still be the same because the factors are still the same numbers.
Haters I am only in the third grade and I don't really know that much but at-least I still know something.
Thank you for reading a third grader's answer
Have a nice day!

The Commutative Property (of Multiplication) says that 4x5 = 5x4. So, If 4x5 = 20, then 5x4 will also be 20.
It does not use parentheses.
you can not use commutative property for subtraction because if you switch them around you will end up with a negative number.
Commutative property means that the numbers can be in any order and give the same amount. So 5 x 4 = 4 x 5. Just switch 'em!
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.
