Commutative Property of Addition

• it doesn't matter in what order you multiply numbers. The formula for this property is: a * b = b * a.
• changing the order of addends does not change the sum. Here's an example: 4 + 2 = 2 + 4 ‍
• multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number produces the same result as when each addend is multiplied individually by the number and the products are added together.
• the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.
