What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the process of adding a number to itself a certain number of times. For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (3 x 4) means adding 3 four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3).

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.

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property states that changing the order of the numbers in a multiplication problem does not change the product. For example, 4 x 5 = 5 x 4.

Front

What is the associative property of multiplication?

Back

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

Front

What is the identity property of multiplication?

Back

The identity property states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 7 x 1 = 7.

Front

What is a factor in multiplication?

Back

A factor is a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product. For example, in 6 x 4 = 24, both 6 and 4 are factors.
