This is called the "commutative" property.
Associative
This property is known as the commutative property of addition. It states that changing the order of the numbers being added does not affect the sum; for example, ( a + b = b + a ). This property holds true for all real numbers, ensuring that the result remains constant regardless of how the numbers are arranged.
The property that states the order in which numbers are added does not change the sum is known as the Commutative Property of Addition. This means that for any two numbers (a) and (b), the equation (a + b = b + a) holds true. This property allows for flexibility in how numbers can be grouped and rearranged in addition without affecting the final result.
The property that states the order of numbers in multiplication does not matter is called the Commutative Property of Multiplication. This property indicates that for any two numbers ( a ) and ( b ), the equation ( a \times b = b \times a ) holds true. This means that the product remains the same regardless of how the numbers are arranged.
This is because in Western cultures, numbers above a thousand are grouped in 3s; the Greek prefices for the SI system are also grouped in powers of 10^3.
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.
order of operations
The way in which numbers are grouped when added or multiplied does not change the sum or product.

16x6 cannot have the associative property. The associative property requires two [identical] operations, applied to 3 variables. There are not enough operations nor variables/numbers in the question.

The associative property.
I don't know which of these are 'first', but there is the:Identity Property - you can add zero and get the same number back.Commutative Property - numbers can be added in any order and get the same result.Associative Property - numbers can be grouped in parenthesis and added without changing the resulting sum.
It is the associative property as well as the commutative property.
regardless of what the problem is, they are always called integers. unless you have variables or fractions in the problem.
