| A | B |
|---|
| base | the number being multiplied (that exponent always ahngs around me!) |
| exponent | tells you how many times a number (the base) is being multiplied |
| factor | numbers multiplied together to get a product |
| product | the answer to a multiplication problem |
| distributive property of multiplication | only the order of the factors changes |
| associative property of multiplication | the groups of factors is the only thing changing |
| identity property of multiplication | multiplying by one does not change the factor |
| zero property of multiplication | multiplying by zero will ALWAYS give you zero |
| dividend | the number being divided |
| divisor | the number you are dividing BY |
| inverse operations (ex: dividing by 5 and multiplying by 5) | operations that undo each other |
| multiple (ex: 12 is a multiple of 3 because 3 goes evenly into 12) | a product of that number and some other whole number |
| per (ex: $8 per hour) | for each |
| quotient | the answer to a division problem |
| remainder | the number left over after a quotient is found |
