Property 5 - Product of two decimals remains same, even if we change their order of multiplication

Property 1 Property 2 Property 3 Property 4 Property 5
Property 6

Property 5 explains that product of two decimals remains same, even if we change their order of multiplication

Example - Let's multiply decimals 1.5 and 2.5 in different order:

Order1: 1.5 X 2.5 = 3.75
Order2: 2.5 X 1.5 = 3.75

Now we can in order 1 and order 2, the product of given decimals are same.

Let's check with some more examples:

Example 2: Decimal 22.101 and 1.904
Order 1: 22.101 X 1.904 = 42.080304
Order 2: 1.904 X 22.101 = 42.080304

Example 3: Decimal 11.11 and 22.22
Order 1: 11.11 X 22.22 = 246.8642
Order 2: 22.22 X 11.11 = 246.8642

Hence, above examples further clarifies that product of two decimals remains same, even if we change their order of multiplication.
