Commutativity Property - applicable to Addition and Multiplication Only, not for Subtraction and Division
What is commutativity property: If you add or multiply any two numbers in any order the answer is same. Summation and Multiplication are commutative while subtraction and division are not.
For eg. 2+3 = 3+5 = 8, here addition in any order gives same result
2 x 3 = 3 x 2 = 6 here multiplying in any order gives same result
2 -3 Not Equal to 3 -2, Here you can see in subtraction if you change order you get different result hence it is not commutative
5 divided 3 Not Equal to 3 divided 5, In division changing order gives different result so same as subtraction it is not commutative
