Answer 1

Associative property explains that addition and multiplication of numbers are possible regardless of how they are grouped. By grouping we mean the numbers which are given inside the parenthesis (). Suppose you are adding three numbers, say 2, 5, 6, altogether. Then even if we group the numbers in addition procedures such as 2 + (5 + 6) or (2 + 5) + 6, in both the ways the result will be the same. The same rule applies to multiplication, i.e., 2 x (5 x 6) = (2 x 5) x 6. This property is almost similar to commutative property, where only two numbers are used.
