2. Commutative Properties of Addition
and Multiplication
Addition Multiplication
The order in which numbers The order in which numbers
are added does not change are multiplied does not
the sum. change the product.
4+7=7+4 6โข4=4โข6
For any number a and b, For any numbers a and b,
a+b=b+a aโขb=bโขa
3. Associative Properties of Addition and
Multiplication
Addition Multiplication
The way in which addends The way in which factors are
are grouped does not grouped does not change
change the sum. the product.
(4 + 3) + 5 = 4 + (3 + 5) (4 โข 2) โข 3 = 4 โข (2 โข 3)
For any numbers a, b, and c. For any number a, b, and c.
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (a โข b) โข c = a โข (b โข c)
4. Identity Properties of Addition and
Multiplication
Addition Multiplication
The sum of an number and The product of a factor and
zero is the original one is the factor.
number. 7โข1=7
5+0=5
For any number a,
For any number a, aโข1=a
a+0=a
5. Multiplicative Property of Zero
The product of a factor and zero is zero.
2โข0=0
For any number a,
aโข0=0
6. Reciprocal = Flip it!!!!
๏Reciprocal
๏If you have a number, the reciprocal is 1/number
๏If itโs a fraction, flip the fraction
18. Distributive Property โ
๏Multiply numbers by breaking apart one of the numbers and
writing it as a sum or difference.
1. 8 ( 14) = 8 (20 โ 6 ) = 8 โข 20 โ 8 โข 6 = 160 โ 48 = 112
2. 6 (23) = 6 (20 + 3) = 6 โข20 + 6 โข 3 = 120 + 18 = 138
3. In algebra โ we multiply the a times both things in the
parenthesis.
4. a โข (b + c) = a โข b + a โข = ab + ac
5. 2 (a + b ) = 2 โข a + 2 โข b = 2a +2b
19. Name the Property
1) 14 + 5 + 16 = 16 + 5 +14
Commutative Property of Addition
1) 25 โข 9 โข 4 = 4 โข 25 โข 9
Commutative Property of Multiplication
1) (y + 2) + 3 = y + (2 + 3)
Associative Property of Addition
1) 4(5m) = (4 โข 5)m
Associative Property of Multiplication
1) 3โข5โข0=0
Multiplicative Property of Zero
