Distributive Law Defined
Summary of the distributive law.
Associative Law for Multiplication
The associative law for multiplication: (ab)c = a(bc). The commutative and associative laws for multiplication can be combined. The use the associative and commutative laws together in a multiplication problem is demonstrated.
Division and Subtraction and not Associative
Division and subtraction are not associative operations.
Division and Subtraction and not Commutative
Subtraction and division are not commutative.
