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
