Commutative Property (Multiplication of Whole Numbers)

Addition of Integers Addition of Whole Numbers Division of integers Division of Whole Numbers Multiplication of Integers
Multiplication of Whole Numbers Subtraction of Integers Subtraction of Whole Numbers

Explanation :-
Multiplication is Commutative for Whole Numbers, this means that even if we change the order of numbers in multiplication expression, the result remains same. This property is also known as Commutativity for Multiplication of Whole Numbers

Commutative Property for Multiplication of Whole Numbers can be further understood with the help of following examples :-

Example 1= Explain Commutative Property for multiplication of whole numbers 5 & 7 ?
Answer = Given Whole numbers = 5, 7 and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = 5 × 7 = 35
Order 2 = 7 × 5 = 12
As in both the orders the result is same i.e 35
So, we can say that Multiplication is Commutative for Whole Numbers.






Example 2= Explain Commutative Property for multiplication of whole numbers 20 & 8 ?
Answer = Given Whole numbers = 20, 8 and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = 20 × 8 = 160
Order 2 = 8 × 20 = 160
As in both the orders the result is same i.e 160
So, we can say that Multiplication is Commutative for Whole Numbers.






Example 3= Explain Commutative Property for multiplication of whole numbers 10 & 20 ?
Answer = Given Whole numbers = 10, 20 and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = 10 × 20 = 200
Order 2 = 20 × 10 = 200
As in both the orders the result is same i.e 200
So, we can say that Multiplication is Commutative for Whole Numbers.
