Multiplication and Division Flashcard

Front

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of a number. For example, 4 x 3 means adding 4 three times: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.

What is division?

Back

Division is a mathematical operation that represents the process of splitting a number into equal parts. For example, 12 ÷ 3 means splitting 12 into 3 equal parts, which equals 4.

Front

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, the product is 30.

Front

What is the quotient in division?

Back

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. For example, in 20 ÷ 4, the quotient is 5.

How do you check your multiplication answer?

Back

You can check your multiplication answer by using division. If 6 x 4 = 24, then 24 ÷ 6 should equal 4.

Front

What is a factor?

Back

A factor is a number that divides another number without leaving a remainder. For example, 2 and 3 are factors of 6 because 2 x 3 = 6.

Front

What is a multiple?

Back

A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer. For example, the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you multiply a number and then divide by the same number, you will return to the original number.

Front

How can you solve a multiplication problem using arrays?

Back

An array is a visual representation of multiplication. For example, 3 x 4 can be represented as 3 rows of 4 dots, which shows that there are 12 dots in total.

Front

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property states that changing the order of the numbers in multiplication does not change the product. For example, 3 x 4 = 4 x 3.
