Identity Property of Addition
Associative Property of Addition
Additive Inverse of a Number
The product of any number and one is that number. For example a x 1 = a.
Identity Property of Multiplication
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Multiplicative Inverse of a Number
Commutative Property of Addition
The sum of any number and zero is the original number. For example a + 0 = a.
When two numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the order of the addends. For example a + b = b + a
When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c
Distributive Property
When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example a x b = b x a
