What property is demonstrated by the equation below?

\[ 2 \times 3 \times 6 = 3 \times 2 \times 6 \]

Distributive Property The Distributive Property is easy to remember, if you recall that "multiplication distributes over addition". Formally, they write this property as " a(b + c) = ab + ac ".

The property being demonstrated here is the Commutative Property of Multiplication.
According to this property, changing the order of the factors in a multiplication equation does not change the product.
In the given example, both expressions, 2 x 3 x 6 and 3 x 2 x 6, result in the same product of 36. This property can be applied to any multiplication equation.

The equation 2 × 3 × 6 = 3 × 2 × 6 demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication, which states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. Both orders yield the same result of 36. Thus, the commutative property is confirmed by this equation.
