Multiple Choice

Which of the following given uses the identity property of multiplication?

• 35 x 7 = 7 x 35

• 73 x 0 = 0

• 112 x 1 = 112

• 24 x 5 = 120

Zero Property of Multiplication

• Any number multiplied by zero/0 is equal to zero.

• For example: 37 x 0 = 0

Multiple Select

Which of the following given uses the Zero Property of Multiplication?

• 36 + 0 = 36

• 1 x 25 = 25

• 95 x 0 = 0

• 0 x 26 = 0

Order or Commutative Property of Multiplication

• Even if we change the order of the factors, the product will still be the same.

• For example: 3 x 5 = 15, 5 x 3 = 15

Multiple Choice

Which of the following given uses the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

• 25 x 16 = 16 x 25

• 54 x (2 x 1) = (54 x 2) x 1

• (4 x 2) x 5 = 5 x (4 x 1)

Grouping or Associative Property of Multiplication

• Even if we change the grouping of the factors, the product will remains the same.

• For example: (2 x 5) x 6 = 60, 2 x (5 x 6) = 60

Multiple Choice

Fill in the blanks.
