This is stated in symbols: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c). In other words, you get the same result whether you multiply the two numbers on the left first, or first the two numbers on the right. This refers to multiplication of real numbers, as usually defined; there have indeed been operationes defined, also known as "multiplication", that don't fulfill this property.
