Question

The given statement indicates which property of multiplication?

Statement: The order in which we multiply the factors does not change the product.

Answer 1

Let us consider the definitions of these properties:

Commutative property states that the order in which we multiply factors does not change the product.

$\bullet$ Example: $3\times 5=15$
$5\times 3=15$


Associative property states that the product of three or more numbers remains the same irrespective of how the numbers are grouped.
Example:
Expression $=(2\times 3)\times 4$
$=6\times 4$
$=24$

Expression $=2\times (3\times 4)$
$=2\times 12$
$=24$

The order in which factors are multiplied does not change the product in both properties.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
