Watch out Properties of integers with Mathematical Division


Mathematical Division of integers is neither commutative nor associative. 
Mathematical Division of integers can be represented as following
a / b != b / a
(a / b) / c != a / (b / c)
Justifying commutative property of mathematical Division of integers
a / b != b / a
If a = 4 and b = 2
Then 4 / 2 = 2 and 2 / 4 = 0.5
So, 4 / 2 != 2 / 4 as 2 != 0.5
Justifying associative property of mathematical Division of integers
(a / b) / c != a / (b / c)
If a = 4, b = 2 and c = 8
Then (4 / 2) / 8 = 0.25 and 4 / (2 / 8) = 16
So, (4 / 2) / 8 != 4 / (2 / 8) as 0.25 != 16

Watch out Properties of integers with Mathematical Subtraction


Mathematical subtraction of integers is neither commutative nor associative. 
Mathematical subtraction of integers can be represented as following
a - b != b - a
(a - b) - c != a - (b - c)
Justifying commutative property of mathematical subtraction of integers
a - b != b - a
If a = 5 and b = 3
Then 5 - 3 = 2 and 3 - 5 = (-2)
So, 5 - 3 != 3 - 5 as 2 != (-2)
Justifying associative property of mathematical subtraction of integers
(a - b) - c != a - (b - c)
If a = 5, b = 3 and c = 7
Then (5 - 3) - 7 = (-5) and 5 - (3 - 7) = 9
So, (5 - 3) - 7 != 5 - (3 - 7) as (-5) != 9

The Distributive property of integers


The Distributive property of integers affects when multiplication and summation operations are performed together. 
The Distributive property of integers indicates distribution of operations means the answer of multiplication operation performed after the summations and the answer of multiplication operation performed before the summations are equal. 
The Distributive property of integers can be represented as following
a (b + c) = ab + ac
OR
a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)
For example,
If a = 5, b = 3 and c = 7
Then 5 x (3 + 7) = 50 and (5 x 3) + (5 x 7) = 50
So, 5 x (3 + 7) = (5 x 3) + (5 x 7) as 50 = 50

Another example,
If a = 5, b = -3 and c = 7
Then 5 x ((-3) + 7) = 20 and (5 x (-3)) + (5 x 7) = 20
So, 5 x ((-3) + 7) = (5 x (-3)) + (5 x 7) as 20 = 20

Associative property of mathematical multiplication of integers


The associative property of mathematical multiplication of integers says that any order of grouping of numbers in multiplication results into same answer. 
The associative property of mathematical multiplication of integers can be represented as following
(ab)c = a(bc)
OR
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
To understand associative property of mathematical multiplication of integers we can try multiplying numbers in different orders and note the results. 
For example,
If a = 5, b = 3 and c = 7
Then (5 x 3) x 7 = 105 and 5 x (3 x 7) = 105
So, (5 x 3) x 7 = 5 x (3 x 7) as 105 = 105
 
Another example,
If a = 5, b = -3 and c = 7
Then (5 x (-3)) x 7 = -105 and 5 x ((-3) x 7) = -105
So, (5 x (-3)) x 7 = 5 x ((-3) x 7) as -105 = -105

Associative property of mathematical addition of integers


The associative property of mathematical addition of integers says that any order of grouping of numbers in addition/summation results into same answer. 
The associative property of mathematical addition of integers can be represented as following
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
To understand associative property of mathematical addition of integers we can try adding numbers in different orders and note the results. 
For example,
If a = 5, b = 3 and c = 7
Then (5 + 3) + 7 = 15 and 5 + (3 + 7) = 15
So, (5 + 3) + 7 = 5 + (3 + 7) as 15 = 15
 
Another example,
If a = 5, b = -3 and c = 7
Then (5 + (-3)) + 7 = 9 and 5 + ((-3) + 7) = 9
So, (5 + (-3)) + 7 = 5 + ((-3) + 7) as 9 = 9
