The Commutative Law allows swapping numbers in addition and multiplication, shown with examples, but does not apply to subtraction or division.
1) The Commutative Law
Examples of the commutative law in addition, 77 + 246 + 23, and multiplication, 25 * 19 * 4 with step-by-step calculations.
2) Commutative Law Example
The Associative Law allows grouping numbers when adding or multiplying, but does not apply to subtraction or division.
3) The Associative Law
Examples of the Associative Law in addition, (127 + 48) + 52, and multiplication, 5 * (2 * 228) with step-by-step calculations.
4) Associative Law Example
Applying step by step both the commutative and associative law in addition, 32 + (115 + 68), and multiplication, 20 × (48 × 5).
