What does the Associative Property of Multiplication state?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (a x b) x c = a x (b x c).

Front

What is the result of multiplying any number by zero?

Back

The result is always zero. For example, (697 x 0) x (754 x 27) = 0.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, 5(9 + 4) = (5 x 9) + (5 x 4).

Front

What does the Commutative Property of Multiplication state?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the product. For example, 84 x 48 = 48 x 84.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by one equals the number itself. For example, 7 x 1 = 7.
