What is 2 × 2?
Answer
2 × 2 = 4
2 × 2 = 4 — one of the 45 multiplication facts that the times tables hold. Below: the addition behind it, the division that undoes it and the row it sits in.
Where the Answer Comes From
Multiplying is adding the same number over and over: 2 × 2 is 2 lots of 2.
2 + 2 = 4
The Divisions That Undo It
Division undoes multiplication, so this fact gives one division back — both factors are the same number.
Where It Sits in the Tables
A square sits on the diagonal of the grid: it appears once, in the 2 times table, rather than twice like the other facts.
