True/False

An apprentice machinist is calculating a precision tolerance that involves multiplying (4×105)(4 \times 10^5) and (2×10−7)(2 \times 10^{-7}). To simplify the work, the apprentice rearranges and groups the factors as (4⋅2)(4 \cdot 2) and (105⋅10−7)(10^5 \cdot 10^{-7}). True or False: This rearrangement is an application of the Commutative Property of Multiplication.
