True/False

An apprentice machinist is calculating a precision tolerance that involves multiplying (4×105)(4 \times 10^5) and (2×107)(2 \times 10^{-7}). To simplify the work, the apprentice rearranges and groups the factors as (42)(4 \cdot 2) and (105107)(10^5 \cdot 10^{-7}). True or False: This rearrangement is an application of the Commutative Property of Multiplication.
