Properties of Real Numbers (SAVE)

Commutative Property of Addition
a + b = b + a 6 +4 =4 +6


Commutative Property of Multiplication
a b = b a 5 7 =7 5


Associative Property of Addition
(a + b) + c = a + ( b + c) (4 +3) +5 =4 +(3 +5)


Associative Property of Multiplication
(a b) c = a (b c) (6 2) 3 =6 (2 3)


Distributive Property (multiplication over addition/subtraction)
a(b + c) =ab + ac 4(6 +2) =(4)(6) +(4)(2)

a(b c) =ab ac 3(6 2) =(3)(6) (3)(2)


Additive Identity (Addition Property of Zero)
a +0 =a and 0 +a = a 7 +0 =7


Additive Inverse
a + ( -a) =0 6 +(-6) =0


Multiplicative Identity (Multiplication Property of One)
a 1 =a and 1 a = a 5 1 =5


Multiplicative Inverse (Reciprocals)
