Remember the multiplication words factors andproduct? The numbers that you multiply are thefactors
and the answer is the product.
You will learn about THREE
RULES FOR MULTIPLICATION. The rules are about the factors
and product.
RULE 1
No matter what order you multiply the factors in, the
product is always the same.
2 X 3 = 6 and 3 X 2 = 6
RULE 2
When one of the factors is 1, the product is always the
other factor.
1 X 7 = 7
3 X 1 = 3
RULE 3
When one of the factors is 0, the product is always 0.
0 X 7 = 0
1 X 0 = 0
