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.

$\begin{array}{l}(−6)\left(1\right)\left(10\right)\\ (−6·1)\left(10\right)(\text{AssociativePropertyofMultiplication)}\\ −6(1·10)(\text{AssociativePropertyofMultiplication)}\\ −6·10=−60\end{array}$

Thus, the value of the expression is –60.
