MTH 085 – BASIC MATHEMATICS CLASS 8: LECTURE NOTES – SECTION 1.4 1.4: MULTIPLYING WHOLE NUMBERS Basic Terminology ____________________ is simply repeated addition. For example, we can rewrite 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = ___________ = _____. Remember: ____________________ × _____________________ = ______________________ A number is written in ____________________, when it is written as a product of factors. For example, 20 = __________, ___________, ___________ When a & b are two whole numbers, their product a · b, is both a ____________________ of a and of b. For example, the multiples of 5 are: ______________________________________________________ (Hint: Each row of a multiplication table lists the first few multiples of that number.)
