Rational Numbers
Properties
Commutative property
The commutative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer.
Subtraction
For any two rational numbers a and b, a - b ≠ b - a. So, Subtraction is not commutative for rational numbers
-
Multiplication
For any Two rational numbers a and b, a x b = b x a So, Multiplication is commutative for rational numbers
-
Addition
For any Two rational numbers a and b, a + b = b + a So, Addition is commutative for rational numbers
-
Division
For any Two rational numbers a and b, a / b = b / a So, Division is not commutative for rational numbers
-
Distributive Property
According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

-
Associative property
The associative property is a math rule that says that the way in which factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product.
Addition
According to the associative property of addition, the sum of three or more numbers remains the same regardless of how the numbers are grouped.
-
Multiplication
For any three Rational Numbers a , b and c, a x (b x c) = ( a x b ) x c
-
Subtraction
For any three Rational Numbers a , b and c, a - (b - c) ≠ ( a - b ) - c
-
Division
For any three Rational Numbers a , b and c, a ÷ (b / c) ≠ ( a / b ) ÷ c
-
Role Of 0
-
0 is the Additive Identity For Rational Numbers because for a given rational number a, a + 0 = a
Role Of 1
1 is the Multiplicative Identity for Rational Numbers because for a given Rational Number a, a x 1 = a
-
Multiplicative Inverse
For a given Rational Number p / q , its reciprocal or multiplicative inverse is q / p because p / q x q / p = 1
-
Additive Inverse
For a given Rational Number p / q, its additive inverse is - p / q because p / q = - p / q = 0
