In mathematics, it means that the order of operations doesn't matter: for example,
a+b=b+a,
so we say that addition is commutative and that a and b commute under addition. On the other hand
a-b is not the same as b-a,
so subtraction is not commutative.
Addition and multiplication of ordinary numbers are commutative, but multiplication of matrices (for example) is not commutative.

Commutative property of addition
a + b = b + a
Commutative property of multiplication
ab = ba
Commutative property of addition and multiplications means the order in which you add or multiply two numbers does not effect the results

To travel from one place to the other. To move from one destination to another, be it by air. train, bus or even on foot. A dictionary would help just as easily as asking here you know.
