Multiplication and Division

Front

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of a number. For example, 3 multiplied by 4 (3 x 4) is the same as adding 3 four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12).

Front

What is division?

Back

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

What is a quotient?

Back

A quotient is the result of a division problem. For example, in the division 20 ÷ 4 = 5, the quotient is 5.

Front

What is a product?

Back

A product is the result of a multiplication problem. For example, in the multiplication 6 x 7 = 42, the product is 42.

Front

What is the first step in long division?

Back

Front

What does 'R' mean in division problems?

Back

'R' stands for 'remainder', which is the amount left over after division when the dividend cannot be divided evenly by the divisor.

Front

What is the multiplication table?

Back

The multiplication table is a chart that shows the products of pairs of numbers, typically from 1 to 12, helping to visualize and memorize multiplication facts.

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, you can divide the product by one of those numbers to get back the other number.
