Factor?
The product
"Product" is the result of multiplying one number by another. There's no such thing as the 'product' of a single number.
A FACTOR is a term used to make a larger number by MULTIPLICATION. A PRODUCT is the term that is the answer to two numbers being multiplied together. e.g. 2 X 3 = 6 '2' & '3' separately are factors of '6'. '6' is the product of '2' & '3'. Algebraically, this could shown as ;- ab = c 'a' & 'b' are the factors 'c' is the product NB THe multiplication sign 'X' is NEVER shown in algebra, as it may be confused with the unknown 'x'. Hence 'ab' means 'a' multiplied to 'b' , '2a' means '2' multiplied to 'a'. or 3a^(2) means '3' multiplied to 'a', and then another 'a' is multiplied in again. So '3' , 'a' & 'a' are factors , and 3a^(2) is the product. .
"Product" is a binary operation. You cannot have a product of 3: it has to be the product of 3 and another number.
