    Properties of multiplication of Complex Numbers
    1. Closure law: multiplication of two complex numbers is a complex number, i.e. the product z1z2 is a complex number for all complex numbers z1 and z2.
    2. Commutative law: for any two complex numbers  z1 and z2, z1・z2 = z2・z1
    3. Associative law: for any three complex numbers  z1, zand z3 ,  (z1・z2)・z3 =   z1・(z2 ・z3)
    4. Multiplicative identity: if the multiplication of a complex number z1 with another complex number z2 is z1,  then z2 is called the multiplicative identity. We have z・1 = z = 1・z, so 1 is the multiplicative identity.
    5. Multiplicative inverse: For every non-zero complex z = a + ib, (a ≠ 0,b ≠ 0 ) we have the complex number $\frac{a}{a^2+b^2}+i \frac{-b}{a^2+b^2}\left(\right.$ denoted by $\frac{1}{z}$ or $\left.z^{-1}\right)$  called the multiplicative inverse of z. 
    6. Distributive law : for any three complex numbers  z1, z2 and z3 ,  z1・(z2 + z3) = z1・z2 + z1・z3  and  (z1 + z2)・z3 = z1・z3 + z2・z3
