Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers Review

Front

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation where a number is added 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 = 12.

What is division?

Back

Division is a mathematical operation where a number is split into equal parts. For example, 12 divided by 3 (12 ÷ 3) means splitting 12 into 3 equal parts, which equals 4.

Front

What is a dividend?

Back

The dividend is the number that is being divided in a division problem. For example, in 12 ÷ 3, 12 is the dividend.

Front

What is a divisor?

Back

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided. In the problem 12 ÷ 3, 3 is the divisor.

Front

What is a product?

Back

The product is the result of a multiplication operation. For example, the product of 3 and 4 (3 x 4) is 12.

Front

What is a quotient?

Back

The quotient is the result of a division operation. For example, the quotient of 12 divided by 3 (12 ÷ 3) is 4.

How do you multiply two whole numbers?

Back

To multiply two whole numbers, you can use repeated addition or the multiplication table. For example, to multiply 5 by 3, you can add 5 three times: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.

How do you divide a whole number by another whole number?

Back

To divide a whole number by another whole number, you can use repeated subtraction or the division algorithm. For example, to divide 15 by 3, you can subtract 3 from 15 until you reach 0, which shows that 15 ÷ 3 = 5.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you multiply a number by another number, you can divide the product by one of those numbers to get back the original number.
