Multiplication and Division

Description

A Fact Family consists of four related multiplication and division equations using the same three numbers. For example, 5 x 3 = 15, 3 x 5 = 15, 15 ÷ 3 = 5, and 15 ÷ 5 = 3. This demonstrates the relationship between multiplication and division. This term illustrates the inverse relationship between multiplication and division, deepening understanding of fact relationships.
