Question 1064650: Can you help me with the associative properties ? I don't know how to form a truth-table with a*(b*c) = a*b*c. (if this is what it is called)
Could you build an easy truth-table for me, because I don't understand it that well ?
Can you explain me why a*(b*c) is the same as a*b*c ?
Thank you for taking the time to answer and help me

I made a quick table in EXCEL using random numbers that illustrates the associative property of multiplication.
Sort of, typically it's written as,
a%2A%28b%2Ac%29=%28a%2Ab%29%2Ac
In other words, it doesn't matter the order of operation, the result is the same.
Similarly,
a%2A%28b%2Ac%29=%28a%2Ac%29%2Ab
