Relate multiplication and division for arrays

✈️ You can describe an array using multiplication and division number sentences.

Learn with an example

  • 2×5=10
  • 10÷2=___
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 2×5=10 describes the array.
  • The array has 2 rows with 5 dots in each row. There are 10 dots in all.
  • Division number sentence
  • A division number sentence can also describe the array.
  • The 10 dots are divided into 2 equal rows.
  • There are 5 dots in each row.
  • A division number sentence that describes the array is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same array. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.
  • 3×5=15
  • 15÷3=______
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 3×5=15 describes the array.
  • The array has 3 rows with 5 dots in each row. There are 15 dots in all.
  • Division number sentence
  • A division number sentence can also describe the array.
  • The 15 dots are divided into 3 equal rows.
  • There are 5 dots in each row.
  • A division number sentence that describes the array is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same array. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.
  • 2×2=4
  • 4÷2=___
  • Multiplication number sentence
  • The multiplication number sentence 2×2=4 describes the array.
  • The array has 2 rows with 2 dots in each row. There are 4 dots in all
  • Division number sentence
  • A division number sentence can also describe the array.
  • The 4 dots are divided into 2 equal rows.
  • A division number sentence that describes the array is:
  • Relate the multiplication and division number sentences
  • The multiplication and division number sentences describe the same array. So, the same numbers appear in both sentences.
