Math Facts - Multiplication

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

• The commutative property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product (e.g., a x b = b x a).

• The commutative property states that the product of any number and zero is zero.

• The commutative property states that the product of two negative numbers is always positive.

• The commutative property states that the product of a number and one is the number itself.

How can you use arrays to visualize multiplication?

• Arrays can be used to represent multiplication by arranging objects in rows and columns, where the number of rows represents one factor and the number of columns represents the other factor.

• Arrays can only be used for addition and not for multiplication.

• Arrays can visualize multiplication by showing the sum of all elements in a single row.

• Arrays are used to represent multiplication by listing factors in a linear format.

What is the product of 10 and 11?

• 100

• 110

• 120

• 105

What is the identity property of multiplication?

• The identity property states that any number multiplied by 0 is that number.

• The identity property states that any number multiplied by 1 is that number (e.g., a x 1 = a).

• The identity property states that any number multiplied by itself is that number.

• The identity property states that any number multiplied by 2 is that number.

What is the product of 3 and 9?

• 24

• 27

• 30

• 21

What is the zero property of multiplication?

• The zero property states that any number multiplied by 0 is 0 (e.g., a x 0 = 0).

• The zero property states that any number multiplied by 1 is the number itself (e.g., a x 1 = a).

• The zero property states that the product of any two numbers is always positive.

• The zero property states that any number multiplied by -1 is the negative of that number (e.g., a x -1 = -a).

What is the significance of the distributive property in multiplication?

• It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication across each addend (e.g., a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c).

• It states that the product of two numbers is the same regardless of the order in which they are multiplied.

• It simplifies the process of adding two numbers together before multiplying them.

• It provides a method to factor polynomials easily.

What is a multiplication table?

• A table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system, typically showing the products of pairs of numbers.

• A chart that lists the addition of numbers in a systematic way.

• A diagram that illustrates the division of numbers into equal parts.

• A list of numbers arranged in ascending order.

What is the product of 6 and 6?

• 30

• 32

• 36

• 40

What is the associative property of multiplication?

• The associative property states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product (e.g., (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)).

• The associative property states that the order of factors does not change the product (e.g., a x b = b x a).

• The associative property states that multiplying by zero results in zero (e.g., a x 0 = 0).

• The associative property states that the product of a number and one is the number itself (e.g., a x 1 = a).
