This equation is demonstrating the use of the associative property of multiplication. This property says that when 3 (or more) numbers are connected by either a multiplication sign, it doesn't matter where you put the parenthesis. Since that is what this equation is showing by moving around the parenthesis, this equation is showing The Associative Property of Multiplication.
