Learn

This video shows us how to find unknowns using our multiplication and division facts.

Apply

Fill in the box with the missing number.

  1. $9\times\editable{}=63$9×=63

 

Remember!

For multiplication the order doesn't matter, so if we have $4\times5$4×5, we can also write it as $5\times4$5×4 and get the same answer.
