Question

Name the property used: $-72\times 26=26\times (-72)$

Answer 1

Given : $-72\times 26=26\times (-72)$

We know that the commutative property states that If we multiply two integers, the answer will remain unchanged even if the position of the numbers are changed.

That is, $\mathrm{a}\times \mathrm{b}=\mathrm{b}\times \mathrm{a}$

Here, $\mathrm{a}=-72\mathrm{and}\mathrm{b}=26$.

Hence, here commutative property of multiplication is used.
