Question

Name the property of multiplication shown by the expression 17x times 1=17x

Answer 1

I dont understand it

Answer 2

Answer:

Multiplicative identity of 1

Explanation:

We have an expression $17x$. If this expression is $17x$ multiplied by 1, we get a result same as the given expression i.e. $17x$.

It means that the number 1 multiplied with the expression had no effect on it as we got the same expression.

This is called the multiplicative identity of 1 according to which any time you multiply a number by 1, the result or the product is that original number.
