Best Answer

the basic number properties in math are associative, commutative, and distributive

associative:

(for addition) a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c

(for multiplication) a(bc)=(ab)c or a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c

commutative:

(for addition) a+b=b+a

(for multiplication) a*b=b*a or ab=ba

distributive:

a(b+c)=ab+ac or a(b+c)=a*b + a*c
