The Abelian or commutative property of the multiplication of numbers. It is important that both "multiplication" and "numbers" feature in the answer. Because, it is applicable to multiplication but not, for example, for division. It is applicable for the multiplication on numbers but not matrices.
multiplicand times multiplier equals product
The product of 8 & 7 is 56 (8x7=56)
7 x 4 x 2 is one solution but there are others !
2x28 equals to 56!:)As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*2*7 = 56
How about: 7*8 = 56
7x8 14x4 1x56
There is no set of odd numbers whose product is 56 since the latter is even.
There is no property of multiplication that transposes numbers.

multiplicand times multiplier equals product
It is: 2*2*2*7 = 56 or as 23*7 = 56
The Abelian or commutative property of multiplication of numbers.
multiplicand times multiplier equals product
Multiplicand times multiplier equals product.
It is the commutative property of multiplication of numbers.
The generalisation is that multiplication is Abelian (or commutative) for numbers.
