The correct statement is:

Division is neither commutative nor associative.

This means that the order of the numbers matters (commutative) and grouping them in different ways also affects the result (associative). For example:

  • \( a \div b \neq b \div a \) (not commutative)
  • \( (a \div b) \div c \neq a \div (b \div c) \) (not associative)
