Now, let's talk about the distributive property. Split a factor. Multiply the addends by the other factor. Then add the products: 5 x 2. = (3x2) + (2x2)5 x 2 = 6 + 45 x 2. = 10
Oh! So, it's just:
The last property that we will discuss is the identity property. All you have to remember is the product of any number and one has that number as the answer:7 x 1 = 71,000,000 x 1 = 1,000,00067 x 1 = 67
The end!
Ok, sure! No problem. I am glad to help you anytime!
Thank you so much for helping me with learning the properties of multiplication! How about, in return, we could go get pizza?
So, the commutative property is basically the same multiplication problem flipped around. Like 2 x 4 =4x2. The two problems are equal.
I get it! Like this?
Next, the associative property is similar to the previous one. You can group the factors in any order, and the two problems are equal:(2x3) x 4 = 2x (3x4).
