Theorems of Arithmetic
The Theorems of Arithmetic are fundamental rules about numbers, mainly whole numbers. They include the Commutative Property (changing order doesn't change the sum or product), the Associative Property (grouping numbers differently doesn't change the result), and the Distributive Property (multiplying a number across addition or subtraction). These theorems help organize and simplify calculations, ensuring consistency and predictability in arithmetic operations. Essentially, they are proven rules that underpin basic math calculations, making sure our methods work reliably when we add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers.
