Multiplication Facts

1. In multiplication, the product of numbers remains the same, even if we
change the order.

+ + +

4 × 3 = 12

+ +

3 × 4 = 12
In both the groups, the total number of trees is 12.

Thus, 4 × 3 = 3 × 4 = 12
2. The product of any number and 1 is the Remember

number itself. The product of two

For example, 7 × 1 = 7 given numbers is
always greater than the
3. The product of any number and 0 is numbers unless one of
always 0. the numbers is 1 or 0.

For example, 0 × 4 = 0
