Yes! The Commutative Property applies to multiplication, regardless of the number of factors involved. This means that the order in which you multiply numbers does not change the product. For example:
- \(2 \times 3 \times 4\) is the same as \(3 \times 4 \times 2\) or \(4 \times 2 \times 3\), and all will yield the same result of 24.
So you can rearrange the numbers in a longer multiplication problem in any order without affecting the outcome.
- \(2 \times 3 \times 4\) is the same as \(3 \times 4 \times 2\) or \(4 \times 2 \times 3\), and all will yield the same result of 24.
