The correct statement is: Division is neither commutative nor associative.

In more detail:

  • Division is not commutative because, for example, \( a \div b \) is not generally equal to \( b \div a \).
  • Division is not associative because, for example, \( (a \div b) \div c \) is not generally equal to \( a \div (b \div c) \).
