What is the Commutative Property?

Back

The Commutative Property states that the order of numbers does not change their sum or product. For example, a + b = b + a and ab = ba.

What is the Identity Property?

Back

The Identity Property states that adding zero to a number does not change the number (a + 0 = a) and multiplying a number by one does not change the number (a × 1 = a).
