'''Addend:''' A number to be added to another; for example, ADDEND + ADDEND = SUM.
'''Associative property:''' A basic law of arithmetic which states that when elements are regrouped without changing the order, the result is not affected; for example,
::: (A + 8) + C = A + (8 + C) (in addition)
::: (A x 8) x C =A x (8 x C) (in multiplication).
'''Commutative property:''' A basic law of arithmetic which states that the result does not depend on the order in which quantities are combined. This property applies both to addition and to multiplication; for example,
::: A + 8 + C = C + A + 8 (in addition)
::: A x 8 x C = C x 8 x A (in multiplication).
'''Digit:''' Any of the numerals O to 9; the number "986" has three digits.
'''Distributive property:''' A basic law of arithmetic which states that a mathematical operation performed on a whole factor has the same results as when the same operation is performed on parts of that same factor. For example,
::: 7 X 25 = (7 X 20) + (7 X 5)
may be expressed as
::: 7 X 25 = (7 X 19) + (7 X 6)
with no affect upon the solution of the problem.
