Multiplication and addition operations are associative. This can be obtained by understanding what associative property is.
What is associative property?
Addition or multiplication of 3 or more numbers gives same sum or product without depending on the order of the numbers.
- For example, (2+3)+4 = 5+4 = 9 is same as 2+(3+4) = 2+7 = 9
Similarly, (5×4)×2=20×2=40 is same as 5×(4×2)=5×8=40
Subtraction and division does not have associative property.
- For example, (14 - 3) -2 and 14 -(3 - 2)
11 - 2 and 14 - 1
9 and 13 are not equal
(18÷6)÷3 and 18÷(6÷3)
3÷3 and 18÷2
1 and 9 are not equal.
Hence Multiplication and addition operations are associative.
