What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the product. For example, 4 x 5 = 5 x 4.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way numbers are grouped does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
