Properties of Real Numbers

The document discusses properties of real numbers including: - Commutative properties which state the order of numbers does not change the result of addition or multiplication - Associative properties which state changing the grouping of numbers does not change the result of addition or multiplication - Distributive property which states multiplication distributes over addition - Identity properties which state adding or multiplying a number by 0 or 1 does not change its value - Inverse properties which state every number has an additive and multiplicative inverse

Commutative Properties
Changing the order of the numbers in
addition or multiplication will not
change the result.
Commutative Property of Addition
states: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 or a + b = b + a.
Commutative Property of
Multiplication states: 4 • 5 = 5 • 4 or
ab = ba.
Associative Properties
Changing the grouping of the
numbers in addition or multiplication
will not change the result.
Associative Property of Addition
states: 3 + (4 + 5)= (3 + 4)+ 5 or
a + (b + c)= (a + b)+ c
Associative Property of Multiplication
states: (2 • 3) • 4 = 2 • (3 • 4) or
(ab)c = a(bc)
Distributive Property
Multiplication distributes over addition.

a b  c  ab  ac

3 2  5  3  2  3  5
Additive Identity Property
There exists a unique number 0 such
that zero preserves identities under
addition.

a + 0 = a and 0 + a = a
In other words adding zero to a
number does not change its value.
Multiplicative Identity Property
There exists a unique number 1 such
that the number 1 preserves identities
under multiplication.

a ∙ 1 = a and 1 ∙ a = a
In other words multiplying a number by
1 does not change the value of the
number.
Additive Inverse Property
For each real number a there
exists a unique real number –a
such that their sum is zero.

a + (-a) = 0
In other words opposites add to
zero.
Multiplicative Inverse Property

For each real number a there exists a


1
unique real number such that their
a
product is 1.

a 1
