Commutative Property Example

In mathematics, the commutative property tells us that the factors that make up the operation can change the order in which they occur, without altering the result.

This is a law or property that applies to addition and multiplication.

Examples of commutative property in addition:

2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5

1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 3 = 3 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17

87541 + 65487 + 32123 = 32123 + 65487 + 87541 = 185151

32 + 21 + 65 + 54 + 98 + 87 = 21 + 32 + 54 + 65 + 87 + 98 = 357

74 + 85 + 96 = 96 + 85 + 74 = 85 + 74 + 96 = 85 + 96 + 74 = 255

654 + 987 + 321 = 987 + 321 + 654 = 321 + 987 + 654 = 1962

123456 + 456456 = 456456 + 123456 = 579912

75 + 86 + 42 + 53 = 42 + 75 + 53 + 86 = 53 + 75 + 86 + 42 = 256

84 + 95 + 51 + 62 = 62 + 51 + 95 + 84 = 95 + 62 + 84 + 51 = 292

8594 + 5261 + 5260 = 5261 + 8594 + 5260 = 19115

Examples of commutative property in multiplication:

2 X 3 = 3 X 2 = 6

1 X 2 X 4 X 7 X 3 = 3 X 4 X 7 X 1 X 2 = 7 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 = 168

87541 X 65487 X 32123 = 32123 X 65487 X 87541 = 184154653052441

32 X 21 X 65 X 54 X 98 X 87 = 21 X 32 X 54 X 65 X 87 X 98 = 20110446720

74 X 85 X 96 = 96 X 85 X 74 = 85 X 74 X 96 = 85 X 96 X 74 = 603 840

654 X 987 X 321 = 987 X 321 X 654 = 321 X 987 X 654 = 207 204 858

123456 X 456456 = 456456 X 123456 = 56352231936

75 X 86 X 42 X 53 = 42 X 75 X 53 X 86 = 53 X 75 X 86 X 42 = 14357700

84 X 95 X 51 X 62 = 62 X 51 X 95 X 84 = 95 X 62 X 84 X 51 = 25232760

8594 X 5261 X 5260 = 5261 X 8594 X 5260 = 237820558840
