What is 1 × 6?
Answer
1 × 6 = 6
1 × 6 = 6 — one of the 45 multiplication facts that the times tables hold. Below: the two divisions that undo it and the row it sits in.
Where the Answer Comes From
Multiplying by 1 leaves a number exactly as it was, so 1 × 6 is 6 without any adding at all. That property is why one is called the identity for multiplication.
The Factors Can Be Swapped
6 × 1 comes to the same 6, because multiplication is commutative. The two are read differently — 1 × 6 is 6 lots of 1, 6 × 1 is 1 lot of 6 — and that is what makes swapping them a way to check the answer rather than a restatement of it.
6 × 1 = 6
The Divisions That Undo It
Where It Sits in the Tables
The same fact appears in two rows of the grid — in the 1 times table and in the 6 times table. Knowing one row therefore covers part of the other.

About "Multiplication Facts" Calculator
Multiplying by one is the case where nothing is added at all: the other number is already the answer. Enter two numbers from 1 to 9 (e.g. '1' and '6') to get the product, how it is built, the two divisions that undo it and the table row it belongs to.
