Propiedades de las operaciones aritméticas básicas

Propiedad Ejemplo
Suma a+ b= b+ a 9+ 4= 4+ 9
Conmutativa
Multiplicación a ⋅b = b⋅ a (5)(−3) = (−3)(5)
1 ⎛ 1 1 ⎞ ⎛ 1 1⎞ 1
Suma a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c + + = + +
Asociativa 6 ⎜⎝ 3 2 ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 6 3 ⎟⎠ 2
Multiplicación a ⋅ (b ⋅ c) = (a ⋅ b) ⋅ c (3 × 7) × 9 = 3 × (7 × 9)
Aditivo a+0= a π+0= π
Elemento neutro
Multiplicativo a ⋅1 = a 0.75(1) = 0.75
Aditivo a + (−a) = 0 5 + (−5) = 0
Elemento inverso 1 1
Multiplicativo a⋅ =1 5⋅ = 1
