Commutative Property of Multiplication 

Definition:

It doesn’t matter which order the numbers are multiplied, any case we will get same answer.

Example 1: If we multiplying two and three together we get  4 x 3 = 12

                            4 x 3 = 12

              Let’s look that when we multiply 

                             3 x 4 = 13

              We get same answer, that is 6.

                So,          4 x 3 = 3 x 4 

               or           4 x 3 = 3 x 4 = 12 

We get same answer when we change the multiplying order.

Example 2:           2 x 3 = 6

              Let’s look that when we multiply 

                             3 x 2 = 6

              We get same answer, that is 6.

                So,          2 x 3 = 3 x 2 

               or           3 x 2 = 2 x 3 = 6 

We get same answer when we change the multiplying order. 

Example 3: If we multiplying five and six together we get, 

                             5 x 6 = 30

Let’s look that when we multiply 

                             6 x 5 = 30

                   We get same answer

It says that the numbers can be multiplied in any order, we will get same answer.

So, the Commutative property of multiplication, says that when we multiply numbers will get same answer whether we switch the order.

Formula-            a x b = b x a

This rule also apply for more than two numbers.
We multiply two three and four together 

       2 x 3 x 4 = 24

or    3 x 2 x 4 = 24

or    4 x 3 x 2 = 24

We see that, we change the order of numbers but get same answers.
