The associative property says that you can group addends and multiplicands together however you want. The individual numbers in the expression aren't bothered by any of the other numbers getting together for drinks.
GroupNoun:1) Any number of entities (members) considered as a unit2) (Chemistry): two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule3) A set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverseVerb:1) Arrange into group or groups"Can you group these shapes together?"2) Form a group or group together

When you add or multiply, you can group the numbers together in any combination.
Associative
all of them are connected together
Multiply them all together: 26*99*46*102*234 = 2,826,066,672 And thanks to the associative and commutative properties of multiplication of integers, you will get the same answer whatever order you multiply the numbers.
It's possible - but tricky. You would need an adhesive capable of 'sticking' the two types of pipe together.
The addition or multiplication of a set of numbers is the same regardless of how the numbers are grouped. The associative property will involve 3 or more numbers. The parenthesis indicates the terms that are considered one unit.The groupings (Associative Property) are within the parenthesis. Hence, the numbers are 'associated' together. In multiplication, the product is always the same regardless of their grouping. The Associative Property is pretty basic to computational strategies. Remember, the groupings in the brackets are always done first, this is part of the order of operations.

The associative property of multiplication states that for any three numbers a, b and c, (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) and so we can write either as a * b * c without ambiguity. ie, when multiplying three numbers together, you can multiply the first two together and then multiply the result of that by the third, or multiply the second two numbers together and multiply that result by the first, and you will get the same answer.
