Question

which property of multiplication is shown?
7 = 7 × 1
distributive
identity
commutative
associative
submit

Explanation:

The multiplication identity property states that any number multiplied by 1 gives the number itself. In the equation \(7 = 7\times1\), 7 is multiplied by 1 and the result is 7, which matches the identity property of multiplication. The distributive property involves distributing a factor over a sum/difference, the commutative property is about changing the order of factors (\(a\times b = b\times a\)), and the associative property is about grouping factors (\((a\times b)\times c=a\times(b\times c)\)), so those don't apply here.

Answer:

identity
