Real numbers are simply the combination of Whole numbers, Integers, Rational and Irrational numbers in the number system.

Suppose a, b, and c is three real numbers.

Associative property of Multiplication

Property: $\text{(a}  ·  \text{b)}  ·  \text{c}=\text{a}  ·  ( \text{b}  ·  \text{c} )$

If you are multiplying three real numbers, the product is always the same regardless of their grouping.

Example: $\text{(6}  ·  \text{4)}  ·  \text{3}=\text{6}  ·  ( \text{4}  ·  \text{3} )  =  72$

Associative property of Multiplication states thatif you are multiplying three real numbers, the product is always the same regardless of their grouping.

Property:$\text{(a}  ·  \text{b)}  ·  \text{c}=\text{a}  ·  ( \text{b}  ·  \text{c} )$

Example: $\text{(6}  ·  \text{4)}  ·  \text{3}=\text{6}  ·  ( \text{4}  ·  \text{3} )  =  72$

Associative Property of Multiplication: $\text{(a}  ·  \text{b)}  ·  \text{c}=\text{a}  ·  ( \text{b}  ·  \text{c} )$

So, we can multiply the numbers in any order and here y is a variable

$\begin{array}{l}5\text{ }y\text{ }\left(26\right)\text{ â¶Ä‰}\\ (5\text{ â¶Ä‰}·\text{ â¶Ä‰}26)\text{ â¶Ä‰}·\text{ â¶Ä‰}y\text{ â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰Associative â¶Ä‰Property â¶Ä‰of â¶Ä‰Multiplication â¶Ä‰}\\ 130\text{ }y\end{array}$

$5\text{ }y\text{ }\left(26\right)\text{ â¶Ä‰}=\text{ â¶Ä‰}130\text{ }y$
