Multiplication and Division

Description

A Composite Number is a whole number with factors other than 1 and itself. Examples include 4 (factors: 1, 2, 4) and 15 (factors: 1, 3, 5, 15). These are contrasted with prime numbers, which have only two factors, 1 and the number itself. This term supports the topic by introducing factorization, a key concept for understanding multiplication and division relationships.

Understanding multiplication and division is fundamental in mathematics. This video series delves into Multiplication and Division, offering a visual and conceptual approach that enhances comprehension. The math concepts behind this topic are foundational for developing fluency in operations, problem-solving, and advanced mathematical thinking.
