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.

What is the definition for the associative property?

The Associative Property is when you switch the parenthesis and your results should be the same results (if you didn't you did something wrong). The Associative Property only works for Addition and Multiplication ........NOT DIVISION OR SUBTRACTION!!! Ex: 7+(10+13) 7+23 30 (7+10)+13 17+13 30
