The associative property states that the change in grouping of three or more addends or factors does not change their sum or product. An example would be:
When adding-
(a+b)+c is the same as a+(b+c)
When multiplying-
(ab)c is the same as a(bc)
Note: "a", "b", and "c" are undefined variables

Definition of associative property?
Changing the grouping of the factors. The product stays the same.
What is the definition associative property multiplication?
The property states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, their product is always the same, regardless of their grouping: (a . b) . c = a . (b . c) Example: (6 . 7) . 8 = 6 . (7 . 8) The associative property also applies to complex numbers. Also, as a consequence of the associative property, (a . b) . c and a . (b . c) can both be written as a . b . c without ambiguity.
Does the associative property apply to division?
there is not division for the associative property
