Associative Property of Multiplication (Jump to: Lecture | Video )

Associative Property of Multiplication

This property states that when performing multiplication, how numbers are grouped will not change the resulting product.

Take the equation below:

(2 * 2) * (3 * 1) = 12

Moving the parentheses will not change the final answer, according to the Associative Property of Multiplication.

2 * (2 * 3) * 1 = 12

(2 * 2 * 3) * 1 = 12
