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 a fact family?

Back

A fact family is a group of related addition and subtraction or multiplication and division equations that use the same numbers. For example, the numbers 2, 3, and 6 can form the fact family: 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 - 2 = 3, 5 - 3 = 2.

How do multiplication and division relate to each other?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you multiply two numbers, you can divide the product by one of the numbers to get the other number. For example, if 4 x 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

What is the relationship between the numbers in a multiplication equation?

Back

In a multiplication equation, the numbers are called factors, and their product is the result. For example, in 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are factors, and 12 is the product.
