Commutative Property (Addition of Integers)

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 :-
Addition is Commutative for Integers, this means that even if we change the order of integers in addition expression, the result remains same. This property is also known as Commutativity for Addition of Integers

Commutative Property for Addition of Integers can be further understood with the help of following examples :-

Example 1 = Explain Commutative Property for addition of integers (-5) & (-7).
Answer = Given Integers = (-5), (-7) and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = (-5) + (-7) = (-12)
Order 2 = (-7) + (-5) = (-12)
As, in both the orders the result is same i.e (-12),
So, we can say that Addition is Commutative for Integers.





Example 2 = Explain Commutative Property for addition of integers (-23) & (-43).
Answer = Given Integers = (-23), (-43) and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = (-23) + (-43) = (-66)
Order 2 = (-43) + (-23) = (-66)
As, in both the orders the result is same i.e (-66),
So, we can say that Addition is Commutative for Integers.





Example 3 = Explain Commutative Property for addition of integers (-20) & (-4).
Answer = Given Integers = (-20), (-4) and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = (-20) + (-4) = (-24)
Order 2 = (-4) + (-20) = (-24)
As, in both the orders the result is same i.e (-24),
So, we can say that Addition is Commutative for Integers.
