Division is commutative but not associative.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Division is neither commutative nor associative.

This is because:

• Commutative Property: In division, changing the order matters. For example, \( 6 \div 2 \) is not equal to \( 2 \div 6 \).
• Associative Property: Division does not satisfy the associative property because \( (8 \div 4) \div 2 \) is not equal to \( 8 \div (4 \div 2) \).

Therefore, division is neither commutative nor associative.
