Question

Define commutative property for integers

Answer 1

Addition is Commutative for Integers, this means that even if we change the order of integers in addition expression, the result remains same. This property is also known as Commutativity for Addition of Integers
Example 1 = Explain Commutative Property for addition of integers (-5) & (-7).
Answer = Given Integers = (-5), (-7) and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = (-5) + (-7) = (-12)
Order 2 = (-7) + (-5) = (-12)
As, in both the orders the result is same i.e (-12),
So, we can say that Addition is Commutative for Integers.


Multiplication is Commutative for Integers, this means that even if we change the order of integers in multiplication expression, the result remains same. This property is also known as Commutativity for multiplication of Integers
Example 2 = Explain Commutative Property for multiplication of integers (-5) & (-7).
Answer = Given Integers = (-5), (-7) and their two orders are as follows :-
Order 1 = (-5) x (-7) = (35)
Order 2 = (-7) x (-5) = (35)
As, in both the orders the result is same i.e (35),
So, we can say that Multiplication is Commutative for Integers.
