What is the commutative property in math?

Answer

The commutative property in math is a simple property that applies to both addition and multiplication. The property states that the order in which operations (addition, multiplication) are performed on the numbers does not matter. 
 

For example, the following equations are exactly the same: 4x3x2, 2x3x4, 3x4x2, 2x4x3

All of these equations produce an answer of 24.
