No. Rearranging numbers [2+3=3+2] is the commutative property. The associative property involves rearranging parentheses - (3 x 4) x 6 = 3 x (4 x 6).

What is Associative Property?

The addition or multiplication of a set of numbers is the same regardless of how the numbers are grouped. The associative property will involve 3 or more numbers. The parenthesis indicates the terms that are considered one unit.The groupings (Associative Property) are within the parenthesis. Hence, the numbers are 'associated' together. In multiplication, the product is always the same regardless of their grouping. The Associative Property is pretty basic to computational strategies. Remember, the groupings in the brackets are always done first, this is part of the order of operations.


Is the associative property of multiplication a regular associative problem but with factors?

There is only one associative property for multiplication: there is not a separate "regular" version.


What is the definition of assocative property of multiplication?

The associative property definition is this : you can group two numbers multiply them together then multiply that product by the other number. For example (3x3)x3=27 so basically all the associative property is about is grouping the numbers in different ways and making the problem faster and easier depending on what numbers you are multiplying. Hope that makes it easier 


Which property is illustrated in this problem Which property is illustrated in this problem (associative distributive identity or commutative) 7d plus 3 3 plus 7d?

Which property is illustrated in this problem? (associative, distributive, identity, or commutative) 7d + 3 = 3 + 7d


What is the property that allows you to move parentheses in a problem and still get the same answer?

There is no property which allows you to do that in all cases. It is only possible in the case of the associative property for addition and multiplication. It does not work for subtraction or division.


Which property is illustrated in the problem 6 x 5 equals 5 x 6?

associative property


Is any math problem with parentheses associative property?

No some do not undertake that rule!! Your welcome ANONYMOUS


What property is illustrated by this problem(5x6)x35x(6x3)?

If there is an equals sign between the 3 and 5 of 35, then it is the associative property of multiplication.


In the following problem what property allows you to multiply 5 by 2 before multiplying by 13?

I am guessing your problem is to compute 5 times 2 times 13. In this case, the property you are using the associative property.

Can associative property can be applied to the subtraction problem below when x equals 0 or 1?

I really can't say, because you're not letting me see the subtraction problem below.


What are the Adding Properties-math?

There's the commutative property of addition, which allows you to switch numbers around in an addition problem. 8+9 = 9+8 or a+b+c = c+a+b The associative property of addition allows you to move parentheses about. (a+b)+c = a+(b+c) The identity property of addition shows the following: a+0=a Dx1=D The inverse property of addition shows this: 5 + (-5) = 0
