A factor is a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product. For example, in 3 x 4, both 3 and 4 are factors.

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

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

The identity property states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 7 x 1 = 7.
