There is only one associative property for multiplication: there is not a separate "regular" version.
No, you cannot have subtraction in the associative property of multiplication because the associative property of multiplication is about multiplication. More to the point, if you're asking whether subtraction is associative, the answer is still no. (2 - 3) - 4 does not equal 2 - (3 - 4)
They are the Associative Property of Multiplication, the Commutative Property of Multiplication, and the Zero Property of Multiplication.
its like a fatality
That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.
