Question

What on earth is the associative property of multiplication?

Answer 1

Associative Property: When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors. For example (2 * 3) * 4 = 2 * (3 * 4)

Answer 2

when we associate with people we hang out in a group; the associative laws simply states that it doesnt matter how you group the factors

Answer 3

which show the property of bla and blah

f (a times b)c = a(b times c)
g a(b times c) = (a times c) times (a times c)
h a times 1 = 1xa
j (a times b) times c = (b times a) times c

Answer 4

Like a(bc) = ab(c) = abc (Actually the order doesn't matter either if we are talking about numbers so you go = bac etc).

Answer 5

It all seems a bit pointless, I know (because u "know" this).

But there are algebras (sets of rules) which are put together in such a way that 1 or more rules don't hold and the elements may be something other than numbers.
