Multiplication and Division

Description

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that when multiplying, any pair of numbers can be multiplied first without changing the product. For example, (2 x 8) x 5 = 2 x (8 x 5) = 80. This property simplifies complex calculations by allowing grouping flexibility. This term highlights a fundamental rule of multiplication, enabling students to break down calculations into manageable steps.
