Of all the natural numbers, the only number which is quite different from the rest is '1'; also called numero uno, it is the first number, which children learn to count. The identity property is concerned with the multiplication of a number by 1. Here is the property, stated in the simplest form:
"The product of any number and 1 is the same number."
In terms of equations, for a variable or number 'a', this property can be expressed as follows:
a x 1 = a
This property seems quite obvious, if you try to interpret it in simpler terms. When you multiply two numbers, you count how much the first number times the second number would be. That is, in the above example, 'a' times 1, would be 1 counted 'a' times, which would give you 'a' again. Let me provide some examples of this property in the next section.
