MA007: Commutative Law of Multiplication | Saylor Academy

The commutative property for multiplication simply says 5 x 4 is equal in value to 4 x 5. However, remember this isn't true for division. 10 divided by 5 is 2, while 5 divided by 10 is 1/2. Watch this video for examples of how to apply this law.
