3x5=15 3 x5
The answer of a multiplication problem ex. 3x5=15 15 would be the product
No, a 3x5 matrix cannot be multiplied by another 3x5 matrix. For matrix multiplication to be possible, the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix. Since a 3x5 matrix has 5 columns and the second 3x5 matrix has 3 rows, multiplication is not defined in this case.
Commutivity of multiplication or the commutative property of multiplication.
The generalisation is that multiplication is Abelian (or commutative) for numbers.
3(7)
The * is another way to write the times sign (x) for a multiplication problem.
"What is 3*(-5)" would be such a problem.
2/3 = 2 x 1/3
In the multiplication sentence 3x5=15, the numbers 3 and 5 are known as factors. Factors are the numbers that are multiplied together to obtain a product. In this case, 3 and 5 are the factors that, when multiplied, result in the product of 15.
The product is the answer in a multiplication problem. 3 x 6 = 18 The product of 3 and 6 is 18.
A product is an answer to a multiplication problem.
