When you multiply three numbers together you can either multiply the first two together and multiply the result of that by the third, or multiply the last two together and multiply the result of that by the first.1 200 = 100 x 2 So, for example: 5 x 200 = 5 x (100 x 2) = 5 x 100 x 2 = (5 x 100) x 2 Meaning that multiplying by 200 is the same as multiplying by 100 and then by 2. 1This is the "Associative Law". Using smaller numbers as an example: Suppose you have 2 x 3 x 4. It says: 2 x 3 x 4 = (2 x 3) x 4 = 6 x 4 = 24 or: 2 x 3 x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4) = 2 x 12 = 24 As multiplication is short hand for repeated addition, this can be seen by using only additions: 2 x 3 is the same a 3 + 3 (adding 3 to itself two times, that is twice 3) or 2 + 2 + 2 (adding 2 to itself three times, that is 2 thrice), the result of all three being 6: 2 x 3 = 6 3 + 3 = 6 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 Now, 2 x 3 x 4 can be calculated as (2 x 3) x 4, that is do 2 x 3 first and then multiply the result of that by 4. In terms of addition, this becomes: (2 x 3) x 4 = (3 + 3) x 4 = (3 + 3) + (3 + 3) + (3 + 3) + (3 + 3) = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24 Or, it can be calculated as 2 x (3 x 4), that is do 3 x 4 first and then multiply the result of that by 2. In terms of addition, this becomes: 2 x (3 x 4) = 2 x (3 + 3 + 3 + 3) = (3 + 3 + 3 + 3) + (3 + 3 + 3 + 3) = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 24 In both cases the result is the same - adding 3 to itself eight times to get 24.
You multiply 1 x 2. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 2 x 3 = 6. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 6 x 4 = 24. You continue, until you have multiplied all the numbers.You multiply 1 x 2. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 2 x 3 = 6. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 6 x 4 = 24. You continue, until you have multiplied all the numbers.You multiply 1 x 2. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 2 x 3 = 6. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 6 x 4 = 24. You continue, until you have multiplied all the numbers.You multiply 1 x 2. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 2 x 3 = 6. Then you multiply the result with the next number: 6 x 4 = 24. You continue, until you have multiplied all the numbers.
2 X 3 X 4 = 24.

6 / ( x + 4 ) = 2 / 3 1 - Multiply both parts by 3 3 * 6 / ( x + 4 ) = 2 2- Multiply both parts by (x+4) 3 * 6 = 2 * ( x + 4 ) 3 - Simplify 18 = 2x + 8 10 = 2x 5 = x

2 x 3 = 6 6 x 4 = 24 24 x 5 = 120

There are three 2s and two 3s in 72. (8 x 9 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3) You can multiply 4 x 2 x 9, you can multiple 4 x 6 x 3, and 8 x 3 x 3, 2 x 6 x 6.
1 x 12, 2 x 6, 3 x 4, 4 x 3, 6 x 2, 12 x 1
1 x 12 2 x 6 3 x 4
2 to the power of 3 is equivalent to 2 x 2 x 2. 2 x 2 = 4 Then multiply the answer (4) by 2 again, for 8. 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
2 X 3 X 4 = 24.

(4 / 5) x (2 / 3)? To multiply fractions, simply multiply straight across. So 4 x 2 = 8, and 5 x 3 = 15, so you get 8 over 15. Simple!
