Properties of Addition


            Property 1 :  Changing the order of the two addends does not change the sum.





                                                      4 + 2 = 2 + 4



                                              This is known as the order

                                              property of addition.
                       4 + 2 = 6                                                               2 + 4 = 6

            Example    :        Add 25967 and 12379.


            Solution    :       a.         2  5  9  6  7                   b.          1  2  3  7  9

                                        + 1  2  3  7  9                            + 2  5  9  6  7


                                           3  8  3  4  6                               3  8  3  4  6


                               \ 25967 + 12379 = 38346                    \  12379 + 25967 = 38346


            Property 2  :  The sum of any number and 0 is that number itself.
















                                                    0 + 5 = 5 + 0 = 5
                          0 + 5 = 5                                                          5 + 0 = 5

            This is known as the additive property of zero                  .


            Example    :        Add 25678 and 0.

            Solution    :       a.        2  5  6  7  8


                                                     + 0

                                          2  5  6  7  8



                                  \ 25678 + 0 = 25678
