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
