Property Identification in Logistics Formulas

A logistics analyst is simplifying the expression (4w3)2(2w5)(4w^3)^2(2w^5) to determine the total storage capacity of a warehouse. After expanding the first term to get $16w^6 \cdot 2w^5,theanalystrearrangesthefactorsinto, the analyst rearranges the factors into (16 \cdot 2) \cdot (w^6 \cdot w^5)$ to make the final calculation easier. What is the name of the mathematical property that allows the analyst to change the order of these factors?
