the associative property
associative property
Commutative property: When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example 4 * 2 = 2 * 4
The property you're looking for is called the Commutative property. This means you can commute, or move the terms around (when being added, or multiplied) and it won't change the answer. ex: 3 * 5 = 5 * 3 x * y = y * x 1 + 10 = 10 + 1 x + y = y + x
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.
The associative property of a binary operator denoted by ~ states that form any three numbers a, b and c, (a ~ b) ~ c = a ~ (b ~ c) and so we can write either as a ~ b ~ c without ambiguity. The associative property of means that you can change the grouping of the expression and still have the same result. Addition and multiplication of numbers are associative, subtraction and division are not.
You can change the grouping of the addends and the sum will stay the same

I think it is the Associative Property.
That's the Associative Property.

Changing the order of addends does not change their sum. In symbolic form, a + b =b + a. Subtraction is not commutative .
Cummutative Property=> The order of addends [does not] change the sum!
That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.

Remember, the groupings in the brackets are always done first, this is part of the order of operations.When we change the groupings of addends, the sum does not change:(2 + 5) + 4 = 11 or 2 + (5 + 4) = 11(9 + 3) + 4 = 16 or 9 + (3 + 4) = 16Just remember that when the grouping of addends changes, the sum remains the same.Multiplication ExampleWhen we change the groupings of factors, the product does not change:(3 x 2) x 4 = 24 or 3 x (2 x 4) = 24.Just remember that when the grouping of factors changes, the product remains the same.Think Grouping! Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum, changing the groupings of factors, does not change the product.*** 4x(25x27) = (4x25)x27***
Commutative property of addition :)
Communitive
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
