|
_______ - _______ = _______
|
minuend - subtrahend = difference
|
|
|
______ x _______ = _______
|
multiplicand x multiplier = product

|
|
What is another word for difference?
|
remainder
|
|
|
Multiplication is commutative.
|
a x b = b x a
|
|
|
a x b = b x a
|
Multiplication is commutative.
|
|
|
Multiplication is associative.
|
a x ( b x c ) = ( a x b ) x c = ( a x c ) x b
|
|
|
a x ( b x c ) = ( a x b ) x c = ( a x c ) x b
|
Multiplication is associative.
|
|
|
Multiplication is distributive.
|
If b is made up of the parts y and z,
then, a x b = ( a x y ) + ( a x z ) |
|
|
If b is made up of the parts y and z,
then, a x b = ( a x y ) + ( a x z ) |
Multiplication is distributive.
|
|
|
( a + b ) ÷ c = ( a ÷ c ) + ( b ÷ c )
|
Division is distributive.
|
|
|
Division is distributive.
|
( a + b ) ÷ c = ( a ÷ c ) + ( b ÷ c )
|
|
|
( a x b ) / c = a x ( b / c )
|
Division is associative.
|
|
|
a / ( b x c ) = ( a / b ) / c
|
Division is associative.
|
|
|
Division is associative.
|
a / ( b x c ) = ( a / b ) / c
( a x b ) / c = a x ( b / c ) |
