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, 6 ⋅ 3 = 3 ⋅ 6.

Front

What is the identity property of multiplication?

Back

The identity property of multiplication states that when you multiply any number by one, the product is that number. For example, 6 ⋅ 1 = 6.

Front

What is the zero property of multiplication?

Back

The zero property of multiplication states that when you multiply any number by zero, the product is zero. For example, 5 ⋅ 0 = 0.

Front

What is the associative property of addition?

Back

The associative property of addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum.

Front

What is an example of the identity property of multiplication?

Back

An example is 8 ⋅ 1 = 8.
