No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.
zero property, inverse, commutative, associative, and distributative
Subtraction and addition are not properties of numbers themselves: they are operators that can be defined on sets of numbers.
Division (and subtraction, for that matter) is not associative. Here is an example to show that it is not associative: (8/4)/2 = 2/2 = 1 8/(4/2) = 8/2 = 4 Addition and multiplication are the only two arithmetic operations that have the associative property.
No.
No you can not use subtraction or division in the associative property.
No, only multiplication and addition are.
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
Because subtraction is addition and division is multiplication. So, subtraction would fall under the properties of addition and division would come under the properties of multiplication.
No, the associative property only applies to addition and multiplication, not subtraction or division. Here is an example which shows why it cannot work with subtraction: (6-4)-2=0 6-(4-2)=4
That would be the associative property. The associative property applies to addition and multiplication, but not to subtraction or division.
Of the five common operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and power, both addition and multiplication are commutative, as well as associative. The other operations are neither.
