A factor is a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product. For example, in 4 x 5, both 4 and 5 are factors.

An array is a visual representation of multiplication using rows and columns. For example, 3 rows of 4 objects each represent 3 x 4.

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

The associative property states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
