The commutative property states that the change in the order of two numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product. The commutative property of addition is expressed as A + B = B + A. The commutative property of multiplication is expressed as A × B = B × A.
The commutative property applies to the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication. It means that changing the order or position of two numbers while adding or multiplying them does not change the end result. For example, 4 + 5 gives 9, and 5 + 4 also gives 9.
