When we multiply two numbers, the answer we get is called the product.

We can multiply numbers in two ways:

1. 3 × 2 = 6 Remember

Tens Ones • The product of zero and a
2. 3 → Number of groups number is always zero.

→ Number of objects 2 × 0 = 0 4 × 0 = 0
• The product of one and
× 2 in each group a number is always the

6 Product number itself.
3 × 1 = 3 7 × 1 = 7
