In the
formulae 1
+ 2 = 3 : 1
and
2
are called
addends
or
terms,
while
3
is called the
sum.
With the
commutative property of addition
, the order we add two numbers does not
matter. eg. 1+2 = 2+1.
With the
associative property of addition
, the order we add three numbers does not
matter. eg. (1+2)+3 = 1+(2+3) since we will always get the same result on
both sides.
The
addition property of 0
states that adding 0 to any number
results in the same number.
eg. 6 + 0 = 6.
In the formulae 3
- 2 = 1: 3
is the
minuend
,
2
is the
subtrahend
and
1
is the
difference.
In the formulae 3
+ 2 = 6 : 3
and
2
are called
factors
, while
6
is called the
product.
With the
commutative property of multiplication
, the order in which we multiply two numbers does not matter. eg. 3 * 2 = 2
* 3 .
With the
associative property of multiplication
, the order we multiply three numbers does not matter. eg. (2*3)*4 = 2*(3*4)
since we will always get the same result on both sides.
The
multiplication property of 0
states that multiplying any number by 0
results with 0 .
eg. 6 * 0 = 0 .
In the formulae 6
divided 2 = 3 : 6
is the
dividend
,
2
is the
divisor
and
3
is the
quotient .
The
division property of 0
states
that 0 divided by any number (except 0 ) results in 0.
also if any number (including 0) is divided
by zero, the result is undefined (or infinity) .
