What is Associative Property of Multiplication?

The associative property of multiplication states that the grouping of numbers being multiplied does not affect the product. In other words, when multiplying three or more numbers, you can change the grouping of the numbers without changing the result.

This property can be stated as (a * b) * c = a * (b * c), where a, b, and c are any real numbers. This means that you can multiply two numbers first and then multiply the result by a third number, or you can multiply the first number by the product of the other two numbers. The result will be the same regardless of the grouping.
