Commutative Property of Multiplication.

The Commutative Property of Multiplication says that the order that you multiply two numbers does not matter, you'll get the same answer either way (e.g., 7x1 = 7 and 1 x 7 = 7).

The Commutative Property of Addition says that the order that you add two numbers does not matter, you'll get the same answer either way (e.g., 7 + 1 = 8 and 1 + 7 = 8).

There is NOT a Commutative Property for subtraction, since the order that you subtract two numbers makes a difference (e.g., 7 - 3 = 4, but 3 - 7 = -4...they are not the same!).

Likewise, there is NOT a Commutative Property for division, since the order that you divide two numbers makes a difference (e.g., 12/3 = 4, but 3/12 = 0.25...they are not the same!).
