What is commutative property in easy words?

Commutative Property of Multiplication:

Multiplication is commutative for integers. That is, for any two integers, p and q,

• p × q = q × p

It means changing the position of integers in multiplication does not affect the product.

Example:

For two integers, 9 and 7, their product,

• 9 × 7 = 7 × 9 = 63

For two integers, 5 and –7, their product, 

• 5 × (–7) = (–7) × 5 = –35
