Question

VERY EASY WILL GIVE BRAINLEST THANK YOU AND FRIEND YOU A counterexample is an example showing that a statement is not true. Provide a counterexample to the following statement: Division of whole numbers is commutative

Answer 1

Answer:

I provided two counterexamples in the explanation.

Here is another:

$9 \div 3 \neq 3 \div 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We just need to give an example of being false.  You are in luck; there is a lot of examples:

Let # be a new operation; you know like addition, multiplication, subtraction, division is...

If you have x#y=y#x for all complex numbers x and y, then the set of complex numbers is commutative over that operation, #.

Here are some operations you know that have this property: addition and multiplication.

Examples:  x+y=y+x   or  yx=xy for all numbers x and y.

Example of division not being commutative:

$6 \div 3 \neq 3 \div 6$

These aren't equal because 6 divided by 3=2 while 3 divided by 6 is .5.

2 and .5 are definitely not the same number.

Another counterexample:

$5 \div 2 \neq 2 \div 5$

5/2=2.5

2/5=.4

.4 and 2.5 are not of equal value.
