What are factors in multiplication?

Back

Factors are the numbers that are multiplied together to get a product. For example, in the multiplication 3 x 4, both 3 and 4 are factors.

What is the product in multiplication?

Back

The product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. For example, in 5 x 6 = 30, 30 is the product.

How do you multiply two-digit numbers?

Back

To multiply two-digit numbers, you can use the standard algorithm, which involves multiplying each digit of one number by each digit of the other number and then adding the results.

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 4 x 5 = 5 x 4.

What is the associative property of multiplication?

Back

The associative property states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

What is the distributive property of multiplication?

Back

The distributive property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the products. For example, a(b + c) = ab + ac.

How can you check your multiplication answer?

Back

You can check your multiplication answer by using the inverse operation, which is division. If 4 x 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 4 should equal 5.

What is a multiplication table?

Back

A multiplication table is a table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. It shows the products of pairs of numbers.
