| Identity | When "1" is one of the factors the product is the other factor. |
| Commutative | The order of the factors does not change the product. |
| 4 X 8=32 or 8 X 4=32 | commutative property |
| 25 X 0=0 | zero property |
| 5 X 15=5 X (10 X 5) | distributive property |
| 7 X 1=7 | identity property |
| 3 X (9 X 2)=54 or (3 X 9) X 2=54 | associative |
