Answer:
Basically what this means is that the product (the answer to a multiplication problem) will stay the same even if you switch the order of the numbers being multiplied.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so that might not have made any sense without an example, so I'll give one here. 7 x 8 = 56. In here, the product is 56, the answer. What this is saying is that even if you switch the order of the numbers (if you change it from 7 x 8 to 8 x 7) the answer will still be 56.
7 x 8 = 56
8 x 7 = 56
If you look at a multiplication table, it could help explain this concept.
