Associative Property of Multiplication

This property says that when multiplying 3 terms, changing the order of operations does not change the outcome. More precisely:

(a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = a ⋅ (b ⋅ c)

Here are some examples:

(5 ⋅ 7) ⋅ 9 = 5 ⋅ (7 ⋅ 9)

(x ⋅ (y + 2)) ⋅ z = x ⋅ ((y + 2) ⋅ z)

((m ⋅ n) ⋅ 2) ⋅ (j ⋅ k) = (m ⋅ n) ⋅ (2 ⋅ (j ⋅ k))
