• A factor is the answer to a multiplication equation

• A multiple is the number being multiplied to another multiple which equals a factor

The way the addends or factors are grouped does not change the sum nor the product. You use parentheses. (4 x 2) x 10 = 4 x (2 x 10). Both of these answers equal 80.

• Associative property

• Commutative property

• Subtrahend

• Minuend

The order of the addends or factors does not change the sum nor the product. You flip flop the numbers around. 45 x 23 = 23 x 45

• Associative property

• Commutative property

• Subtrahend
