Answers (1)

best_answer

a * b = L.C.M. of a and b

(iii)  a,b,c \in N

      (a*b)*c = (L.C.M \, of\, a\, and \, b)*c= L.C.M\, of \, a,b\, and\, c

     a*(b*c) = a*(L.C.M \, of\, b\, and \, c)= L.C.M\, of \, a,b\, and\, c

\therefore \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, (a*b)*c=a*(b*c)

Hence, the operation is associative.
