Properties of Math

The commutative property of addition states that "commutative" means "flip around", which means the addition problem gets "flipped around".

The commutative property of multiplication states that the multiplication problem gets "flipped around", this also happens with the commutative property of addition.

The associative property of addition states that you can add regardless of how the numbers are grouped.

The associative property of multiplication states that you can multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped.

The distributive property states that you can multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately.

The zero property of multiplication states that the product of any number and zero is zero.

The multiplicative inverse property states that a number is the denominator and another number is the numerator.

The additive inverse property states that number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero.

The multiplicative identity property states that any time you multiply a number by 1, the result, or product, is that original number.

The additive identity property states that if you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the real same number back.
