Commutative Property 2


You learned earlier about the commutative propery of addition.
To review the commutative property of addition, see here.

The commutative property also applies to multiplication.

Here is an example of the commutative property:

The answer is the same no matter the order of the numbers.
3 * 4 = 12     4 * 3 = 12

Just like with addition, this property holds true even if you have more than two operands.

2 * 3 * 4 = 24
3 * 4 * 2 = 24
