Question

Please Explain asservative property

Answer 1

Associative Property

An operation is associative if you can groupnumbers in any way without changing the answer. It doesn't matter how you combine them, the answer will always be the same. Addition and multiplication are both associative.

Here are some addition examples:

• 1 + (2 + 3) = (1 + 2) + 3
  1 + (5) = (3) + 3
  6 = 6.

• (-1 + 66) + 14 = -1 + (66 + 14)
  (65) + 14 = -1 + (80)
  79 = 79.

  More generally,

  • a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.

Here is a multiplication example:

• 2 * (4 * 3) = (2 * 4) * 3
  2 * (12) = (8) * 3
  24 = 24.

  In general terms, that's

  • a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c.
