What is a product?

A product is the result of a multiplication. In 6 × 4 = 24, the product is 24. The numbers being multiplied (the 6 and the 4) are called factors, so a product is what factors make when multiplied together.

Examples

• The product of 5 and 3 is 15 (5 × 3 = 15).
• 7 × 8 = 56, so 56 is the product.
• The product of 10 and 10 is 100.

Quick facts

• Multiplying by 0 always gives a product of 0.
• Multiplying by 1 leaves the number unchanged.
