The Commutative Property of Multiplication
Commutative Property of Multiplication
The commutative property states that the order of multiplication does not change the result. Therefore, in the expression 16xy, the commutative property allows us to rearrange the terms as xy16 without changing the product. This property holds true for any numbers or variables being multiplied together, as long as the order is switched consistently.
The property states that the order of the addend or factor does not change the sum or product. 2+3=5 3+2=5 6x7=42 7x6=42 5x(7+6)=5x(6+7)
The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product
