The associative property states that, for the sum of three or more integers the order in which the summation in carried out does not make a difference to the answer. Thus, for any three integers, A, B and C:

(A + B) + C = A + (B + C) and so, without ambiguity, we can write either as A + B + C.

Note that A + B need not be the same as B + A. The order of the integers DOES matter. It is the order of the summing that does not.
