Front

What is a factor?

Back

A factor is a number that divides another number without leaving a remainder. For example, in 8 x 2 = 16, both 8 and 2 are factors of 16.

Front

What is a product?

Back

The product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. For example, the product of 5 and 3 is 15.

Front

What is a quotient?

Back

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

Front

What does the multiplication table show?

Back

The multiplication table shows the products of pairs of numbers, helping to quickly find the result of multiplying two numbers.

Front

How do you find a missing factor in multiplication?

Back

To find a missing factor, you can divide the product by the known factor. For example, if 8 x ? = 72, you can find the missing factor by calculating 72 ÷ 8 = 9.

Front

How do you find a missing factor in division?

Back

To find a missing factor in division, you can multiply the quotient by the divisor. For example, if 49 ÷ ? = 7, you can find the missing factor by calculating 7 x 7 = 49.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you know one operation, you can find the other. For example, if 4 x 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 5 = 4.
