Definition:
The Commutative property in algebra states that order does not matter.
In other words, if ‘*’ is an operation and a*b = b*a for all a and b, then * is a commutative.
Example: (Commutative)
Addition: a+b=b+a.
Multiplication: ab=ba.
Example: (non-Commutative)
Subtraction : abba.
Division : (ab)(ba).

The commutative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer. The property holds for Addition and Multiplication, but not for subtraction and division
