PROPERTIES OF MULTIPLICATION
1. Commutative Property
Changing the order of the factors does not affect the product.
Ex. 8 x 7 = 7 x 8 (2 x 3) x 4 = 4 x (3 x 2)
56 56 24 24
2. Associative Property
Changing the grouping of the factors does not affect the product.
Ex. 2 x (9 x 7) = (2 x 9) x 7 (3 x 5) x 10 = 3 x (5 x 10)
126 126 150 150
3. Identity Property
The product of any number and one is the number itself.
Ex. 312 x 1 = 312
2 000 000 x 1 = 2 000 000
4. Zero Property
The product of any number and zero is always zero
Ex. 425 x 0 = 0
10 152 179 x 0 = 10 152 179
5. Distributive Property
a) Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition
Ex. 2 x (5 + 4) = 18 (6 + 10) x 5 = 80
(2 x 5) + (2 x 4) (6 x 5) + (10 x 5)
10 + 8 = 18 30 + 50 = 80
b) Distributive Property of multiplication over Subtraction
Ex. 8 x (7 - 3) = 32 (12 - 8) x 9 = 36
(8 x 7) - (8 x 3) (12 x 9) - (8 x 9)
56 - 24 = 32 108 - 72 = 36
1. 6 x 8 = (6 x 4) + (6 x _____) 6. 3 x 7 = 7 x _____
2. 9 x 2 = _____ x 9 7. 4 x (2 x 6) = (_____ x 2) x 6
3. 3 x (5 x 4) = (3 x 5) x _____ 8. 9 x 7 = (9 x 5) + (_____x 2)
4. 2 x (6 x 5) = (_____ x 6) x 5 9. 3 x 9 = (3 x 5) + (3 x _____)
Give the value of n. then on the line before each number, write down the property.

__________________7. 4 x (2 x 6) = (n x 2) x 6 n = __________
__________________8. (6 x 11) x 32 = (32 x n) x 11 n = __________
__________________9. 19 x (5 + n) = (19 x 5) + (19 x 6) n = __________
__________________10. (12 - 10) x 7 = (12 x n) - (10 x 7) n = __________
