In fact the statement above about the largest commutative subalgebra is false. If you take the set of matrices whose nonzero entries occur only in a block that touches the main diagonal (without containing any diagonal positions) then this is always a commutative subalgebra. And then you can still throw in multiples of the identity matrix.

Now you can prove commutativity of multiplication in $\mathbb{Z}$ by using commutativity of multiplication and addition in $\mathbb{N}$ (exercise!). By the way, the construction of $\mathbb{Z}$ from $\mathbb{N}$ can be seen as an example of a more general category theoretic construction, known as the Grothendieck group construction, a way of ...
We start with a commutative operation, addition, and iterate it recursively to arrive at the operation, multiplication as repeated addition, and find that it remains commutative. One might assume that a statement such as "iterated commutative operations are again commutative".
And then the proof of multiplication's commutativity by induction over y can go like this: (Hints for the justifications of each successive manipulation are indicated between curly brackets.) The base case: x · 0 = 0 · x. x · 0 = { First multiplication axiom } 0 = { Theorem (2) } 0 · x
$\begingroup$ Because matrix multiplication is such that it corresponds to composition of the associated linear maps, and composition of (linear) maps is not commutative. $\endgroup$ – Nico Commented Oct 4, 2020 at 16:19
$\begingroup$ Note to the OP: your question is a perfectly fine one, but it's also a question you could probably have answered for yourself if you tried a few examples (in a sense I will not try to make precise here, "most" pairs of invertible matrices do not commute).
Hence $\rm\ [a]([b]+[c])\ =\ [a][b]+[a][c]\ $ i.e. the distributive law holds too in the congruence ring. Precisely the same proof works also for all the other ring laws, e.g. associative, commutative, etc. One is simply lifting a preservation property from the generating operations to expressions composed of those fundamental generating ...
