Unique Properties of Multiplication Worksheets
What Are Unique Properties of Multiplication? To be able to solve multiplication sums and problems with ease and convenience, kids must have a clear understanding of multiplication properties. These properties always hold true, no matter how complex a problem is. These properties are very helpful in solving multiplication problems. Commutative Property- This is when two or more numbers have multiplied. The order of multiplication does not affect the answer. Rearranging the factors will provide the same answer as the original expression. a x b = b x a. Associative Property -This states that in multiplication, the grouping of numbers does not matter. Grouping in an expression is a sum within the brackets that have to be solved first. (a x b) x c = a x (b x c). Identity Property- This is when an element is multiplied by 1; it remains unchanged. In multiplication, an identity element is 1. Distributive Property- This is when a number is multiplied to a sum in parenthesis, and when it is separately multiplied by each element of the sum, the parenthesis can be removed. 2(5+6)= 2 x 5 + 2 x 6. These are the four basic properties of multiplication, which will help people solve multiplication problems with ease.
