Is multiplication a whole numbers associative operation?
Yes. Multiplication of any real numbers has the associative property: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
What is the definition associative property of addition?
The property which states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, their sum is always the same, regardless of their grouping:(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
What are commutative propertyassociative property and closure propety?
Commutative property: a + b = b + a; example: 4 + 3 = 3 + 4 Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c); example: (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3) Closure property: The sum of two numbers of certain sets is again a number of the set. All of the above apply similarly to addition of fractions, addition of real numbers, and multiplication of whole numbers, fractions, or real numbers.
How are the associative and commutative properties alike and different?
The associative and commutative are properties of operations defined on mathematical structures. Both properties are concerned with the order - of operators or operands. According to the ASSOCIATIVE property, the order in which the operation is carried out does not matter. Symbolically, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and so, without ambiguity, either can be written as a + b + c. According to the COMMUTATIVE property the order in which the addition is carried out does not matter. In symbolic terms, a + b = b + a For real numbers, both addition and multiplication are associative and commutative while subtraction and division are not. There are many mathematical structures in which a binary operation is not commutative - for example matrix multiplication.
