Associative Addition

Front

What is the Commutative Property?

Back

The Commutative Property states that changing the order of the numbers in an operation does not change the result. (e.g., a + b = b + a).

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

What is a prime number?

Back

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not change the sum. (e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).

Front

What is the difference between prime and composite numbers?

Back

Prime numbers have exactly two distinct positive divisors (1 and itself), while composite numbers have more than two positive divisors.
