What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 3 × 4 = 4 × 3.

Front

What is the associative property of multiplication?

Back

The associative property of multiplication states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product. For example, (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

Front

What is the identity property of multiplication?

Back

The identity property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by one remains unchanged. For example, 5 × 1 = 5.
