El orden de los factores no altera el producto, meaning; If I have to clean a room, it doesn't matter if I utilize a broom or a vacuum cleaner, as long as I clean it right and quick.

That phrase do not apply to your example. - 00e657d4, Dec 14, 2010
A rather metaphorical way to use the commutative law. - lazarus1907, Dec 14, 2010

It sounds like a math principle. The order of the factors doesn't effect the product.
2x3=6
3x2=6
If you think that it doesn't matter whether you use a broom or a vacuum cleaner, then you haven't done much cleaning.

It is the commutative law of multiplication. By the way, shouldn't it be "affect"? - lazarus1907, Dec 14, 2010
