Identity Property

The identity property is one of the fundamental properties in mathematics and specifically in arithmetic. It refers to the property that states that any number multiplied by 1 or added to 0 remains unchanged.

Identity Property of Addition

The identity property of addition states that the sum of any number and 0 is the original number. In mathematical terms, for any number 'a',

a + 0 = a

Identity Property of Multiplication

The identity property of multiplication states that the product of any number and 1 is the original number. In mathematical terms, for any number 'a',

a * 1 = a
