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.
Here is an example: 4/2 = 2 Commutative property is when you can move numbers around in a problem, and it wouldn't change. This is why it doesn't work in division 2/4 = 1/2 The commutative property applies to only addition and multiplication. It does not apply to division or subtraction. More examples: Addition: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5 Subtraction: 2 - 3 = -1, 3 - 2 = 1 Division: (see above) Multiplication: 3(5) = 5(3) = 15
No.noFalse...1-2 is not 2-1In mathematics, a binary operation is commutative if changing the order of the operands does not change the result.So lets test if subtraction is commutative. If it is then A - B = B - A.Picking arbitrary different whole numbers for A and B.37 - 12 = 12 - 37Evaluating both sides gives.25 = -25As this equality is false. we have proved that subtraction is NOT commutative!
The commutative property of a binary operator states that the order of the operands does not affect the result. Thus x ^ y = y ^ x where ^ is the binary operator. Addition and multiplication of numbers are two common operators that are commutative. Subtraction and division are two common ones that are not commutative.
