Associative property is a property (which applies both to multiplication and addition) by which numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and still yield the same value,
e.g. (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
or
(ab)c = a(bc)
Example for Associative property for addition
(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)
(2+3)+5 = 2+(3+5)
6+5 = 2+8
11 = 11
Example for Associative property for multiplication
(ab)c = a(bc)
(2 x 3) x 5 = 2 x (3 x 5)
6 x 5 = 2 x 15
30 = 30
