Parts:
1. Factors are numbers you can multiply together to get another number
2. Product is the result of multiplication.

MULTIPLICATION
Example

Where:
2 and 3 are factors, and
6 is the product.

DIVISION
Definition:
The operation of determining how many times one quantity is contained in
another; the inverse of multiplication

4. Remainder is a part that is left over
