What effect does multiplying a real number by 1 have on the number?

Identity Property of Multiplication.

To identify the Property of Real Numbers being demonstrated by the given equation, we should first identify the operation being performed.

sqrt(7)* 1=sqrt(7) In this case, the terms are being multiplied, and one of the factors is 1. Because multiplication of a real number by 1 has no effect on the value of the number, 1 is known as the multiplicative identity. Therefore, the given equation demonstrates the Identity Property of Multiplication.
